The article gives no separate date for the raid; 6 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date.
No count of the plants seized in the four fields was published, only their combined weight of 1,548.484 kg.
No area of the four fields was reported, so no hectare figure is recorded.
The name of the village or locality of the four fields was not published; Kedar Padar is given only as the home of the two arrested men.
No court outcome or remand decision was reported; the four cases were still under investigation.
Only one opened source was found for this raid; a search surfaced only the same ETV Bharat article and a social-media post without a full account.
Pali Sirohi Online names the cover crops as maize, castor and varayali, while ETV Bharat reported maize and other crops; the difference is noted rather than reconciled.
Neither account gives a separate date for the raid; 6 November 2026 is the publication date of both pages.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in ETV Bharat: Officers searched four separate fields in the Rohida police station area and seized 1,548.484 kg of green ganja plants in total.
Amar Ujala describes the seized material as more than 1.5 tonnes of ganja plants and says police uprooted and seized the plants, without giving a plant count, a field area or a split between seized and destroyed plants.
The names of the two suspects differ slightly between outlets: Amar Ujala gives Saniya alias Sunil while ETV Bharat gave Sunil alias Suniyaram; no reconciliation was published.
Amar Ujala's page image is a stock photo credited to ANI, not a picture of this raid, so it is not listed as media.
Only the opening paragraph and headline of the Dainik Bhaskar page were readable; the rest of the article was behind an app paywall, so its figures for plants, fields and arrests could not be checked here.
The page's readable text gives no separate date for the raid and no mention of Operation Trinetra or the arrested men's names.
