Open questions the AI reported
Neither report gives a calendar date for the arrest; Mediawala says it took place on Saturday, and both were published on Sunday 1 November 2026, so 31 October 2026 is used.
Neither report says whether police produced him before a court, sought remand, or filed a charge sheet.
The reports do not name the supplier or any buyer, and do not say whether anyone else was arrested.
Both accounts rest on the Deendayal Nagar police station's version, and the two outlets appear to have used police-supplied details rather than independent reporting.
Mediawala names the law as the 'NDPC Act', apparently a slip for the NDPS Act named by Vande Matram.
Coordinates are for Ratlam city centre, not the Ring Road stretch where he was stopped.
Neither page credits its photograph, and the captions do not establish whether the pictures show the accused, the seized ganja, or both; Mediawala's uncaptioned photo was therefore left out.
