The Times of India published the report on 8 February 2026 and describes a Saturday evening operation; the Hindi account dates the arrest and case to 07/02/2026, so 7 February 2026 is used as the incident date.
The arrested men's names appear only in the Hindi second source, not in The Times of India account.
The Hindi account's home-address wording mentions Bairiya and Pathraiya police-station names differently from The Times of India's Bairiya police station wording; the report uses Sonbarsa, Parsa without resolving the station-name difference.
No charges beyond registration under relevant NDPS Act sections, court outcome, or source and destination of the ganja were reported; questioning was still under way.
No valuation, laboratory weight, or cannabis-only street value was published.
