The raid is dated only as Wednesday evening and the remand as Thursday afternoon; 28 October 2026 is inferred from the article's 30 October 2026 publication date.
No court charge, sentence, plant count or street value for the ganja was reported.
A Dainik Bhaskar page that appeared to describe the same Andar arrests could not be opened, so only the Hindustan account was used.
The page image file is dated August 2025 and was not listed, because nothing shows it is a photograph of this seizure.
Coordinates are the centre of Andar block, not a pinpoint of the vegetable market.
The raid date is inferred as 28 October from Hindustan’s Wednesday-evening wording and 30 October publication date; Bhaskar gives no calendar date.
No charges, later court outcome, plant count or street value were reported.
Bhaskar’s lead image has no caption or credit, so it cannot be confirmed as showing the event and is not listed as media.
The coordinates mark Andar’s centre rather than the exact vegetable-market location.
