Open questions the AI reported

  • Ratopati reported the stop at about 1 am; Kantipur reported it at about 12:30 am. Both describe it as the night before their 1 October reports, so the seizure may have begun late on 30 September.
  • Whether anyone was later arrested is unknown; the reports say the drivers and other occupants had fled and were being sought when they were published.
  • Neither report says where the cannabis was grown or where it was being taken.
