Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The 120 yaba tablets are not cannabis and are excluded from the cannabis figures, and only the separately stated 500 grams of ganja is recorded.
The JATV account reports an estimated value of 15,000 taka for the 500 grams of ganja, while Desherpotro reported a 24,000-taka value for the Baktarpur seizure without separating the ganja from the 30 yaba tablets, and Dhaka Today gave a combined 51,000-taka estimate for both raids.
The reporting relies on police statements rather than an independent agency release.
No court outcome beyond the filing of cases and production in court was reported.
The ganja was not described as weighed before witnesses or laboratory-tested.
Two people were detained in separate anti-drug raids in Rajapur, Jhalakathi, with officers seizing 250 g of ganja and yaba tablets. A mobile court sentenced one man to one year and three months in prison with a 2,000-taka fine, while police filed a drug case against the second man.
