The two accounts differ on the village name: the Bengali page gives Nauhati Chachia (নওহাটি চাচিয়া) and BSS gives Nauhati Chachia; the report treats them as the same village.
BSS describes the ganja as smuggled but does not say where it came from, and no source states its origin or intended destination.
The Bengali page gives each bundle as ganja powder; the report does not rely on that detail.
No court appearance, charge framing or outcome was reported; the case was filed at Sundarganj police station.
The seized ganja figure is the department's own weighing, and the value is its own street-price estimate.
The map point is for Nauhati Chachia as recorded in a place gazetteer and is approximate for a village location.
The page photo is captioned only as a photo caption and is not credited; it appears to show seized packets with officers, but that it is this seizure is not explicitly stated.
