Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
Only the Satna city raid is dated, to the night of Friday 30 October; the other cases have no separate dates, and 31 October is used for the roundup because one accused was produced in court that afternoon.
The headline says intoxicating substances worth ₹1.14 lakh and a motorcycle were seized, but the itemised values do not add up to that figure, so no total value is recorded.
The article does not say what happened to six of the seven after arrest; only Vinay is reported to have been produced in court.
Only the Dainik Bhaskar page could be opened; no independent report of the roundup was found.
The roundup's count of seven includes Kailash Bais, whose arrest is also recorded separately as maihar-ramnagar-1300g-ganja-bike.
