The headline says 18 arrests while the body reports four people held in the drug drives plus 25 people held in separate drives, so this report uses the body's figures.
Figures record only the cannabis component, two arrests and 0.195 kg of ganja, and exclude the reported 300 grams of heroin, 90 tapentadol tablets and their arrests.
The reported drug-sale cash, including 4,240 taka, and three mobile phones are combined or non-cannabis seizure details, so no cannabis value is recorded.
The same article's wider same-day roundup of 25 people, including seven on warrants, four in drug cases and 14 in other cases, is a separate enforcement result left out of this report.
Only one accessible source for this seizure was found after searching in Bengali and English.
The page photo caption only repeats the headline and does not establish that it shows this seizure, so no media entry is included.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Rajshahir Somoy: In a separate tablet action around 11:45 am, detectives arrested 37-year-old Zakir Hossain with 90 tapentadol tablets and 4,240 taka in alleged sale proceeds at Court Bulonpur.
