Only one article, in Hindi, reported the arrest; no second outlet or official Bihar STF release could be opened for corroboration.
The article gives no separate date for the arrest itself; it says late on Wednesday, so 4 November 2026 is taken as the incident date, while 6 November is the publication date.
It gives no amount of ganja involved in the case for which Vimal Kumar was wanted, so no cannabis weight or value is recorded.
It does not say when the underlying NDPS case was registered, at which police station, whether charges have been framed, or what court he was produced before.
It does not say what the 119,000 rupees in cash were suspected of being, for example sale proceeds.
Coordinates are of Sitamarhi district rather than the exact auto stand in Runnisaidpur.
