Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The article gives no date for the raid; 8 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date.
The man's age is given as 45; the article names him but the report describes him by age only.
No count of plants was reported even though police said he grew cannabis, so no plants or area figure is recorded.
No custody status, charge sheet or court outcome was reported, and the article speaks of detention (અટકાયત) rather than a formal arrest under the NDPS Act.
Only one accessible source for this event was found after searching in Gujarati and English, so no second account corroborates the figures.
The value of about Rs 2.54 lakh is the outlet's stated valuation of the ganja, not a documented market rate.
The article also states that the man smoked ganja in a chillum and sold it in small quantities and that a case was registered at Talala police station under sections 8(C) and 20(b)(ii)B of the NDPS Act; only its summary paragraph could be read in full in the opened capture, so those details are left out of the text.
The charge and cultivation details come from the same Divya Bhaskar account, not from an independent outlet or an official statement.
No count of the plants police said the man grew was reported, so no plants or area figure is recorded.
