Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No second outlet or police statement for this arrest could be opened, so the account rests on one local report.
The report gives no exact place inside the upazila for the arrests beyond several unnamed areas, so the map point is the Sariakandi district centre.
The 270 grams of ganja is the total of 230 grams and 40 grams found on two of the four; no weight was reported for the other two.
The 12 tapentadol tablets were found on two of the four men and are not cannabis, so they are outside the cannabis figures.
No charge sheets, remand, sentence or value for the ganja were reported; the case had just been sent to court.
