Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The figures are a campaign total for January to 31 October 2026, not one operation; individual seizures and their dates are not reported.
31 October 2026 is the cutoff date the police gave for the figures; the article was published on 10 November 2026 and gives no date for any individual seizure.
The ganja weight is written both as '133 किलो 646 ग्राम से अधिक' and '133 किलो 646 ग्राम 99 मिलीग्राम'; the figure uses the more precise 133.647 kg.
The charas weight of 24.566 kg is recorded in the products detail, but kg_seized holds only the ganja total; the tracker has no single cannabis-total figure that includes both.
The article does not say how many of the 144 arrested people were charged or what happened in court.
The 144 arrests and 81 cases cover all drugs in the campaign, not only cannabis; the number of cannabis-only cases and arrests is not reported.
No figure for the value of the seized cannabis, and no count of plants or area of fields, was reported.
Only one copy of the district police figures could be opened; no police press statement or second outlet with the same tally was found.
