Home Minister Amit Shah announced that India’s Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized the first-ever consignment of Captagon, dubbed the “Jihadi Drug,” valued at Rs 182 crore. The operation, named “Operation RAGEPILL,” targeted a shipment destined for the Middle East, and included the arrest of a foreign national. Shah said the bust reflects the Modi government’s commitment to a “Drug-Free India,” with pledges to stop both incoming and outgoing drug flows that use Indian territory as a transit route.
The Narcotics Control Bureau Imphal Zonal Unit, with Assam Rifles and Manipur Police, seized heroin worth ₹8.5 crore in Churachandpur district. Two people were arrested during the operation. Investigators said the drugs originated from Myanmar, targeting trafficking routes along the Indo-Myanmar border. Authorities say further action will continue to make Manipur drug free.
