Open questions the AI reported
Hindustan's headline says three were arrested in the charas and smack case and a fourth was caught with a knife, while its text says four accused were arrested; this account counts the four the text names.
Dainik Bhaskar reports three drug traffickers arrested and does not mention the knife arrest, so it is unclear whether that was a separate case.
The 17 grams of smack is heroin, not cannabis, and is not included in the 0.23 kg cannabis figure.
The reports give no ages or occupations for the four men and no court appearance, bail decision or charge sheet.
No source gave a street value for the charas or said where it came from.
