NCB Conducts Largest Ever Operation, Seizing Captagon Worth ₹182 Crore
India's Narcotics Control Bureau has conducted the biggest operation in its history, arresting a Syrian national with 27.7 kg of Captagon tablets and powder, valued at 182 crore rupees in the international market. These drugs are popular among terrorists and are used to make them more aggressive and fearless.
What's right

Breakdown
The claim is partially true. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) did conduct a significant operation, arresting a Syrian national and seizing Captagon tablets and powder with an international market value of approximately ₹182 crore.
This operation is also noted as India's first-ever seizure of Captagon and was conducted under 'Operation RAGEPILL'. However, the quantity of Captagon seized was 227.7 kg, not 27.7 kg as stated in the claim.
While Captagon is linked to terrorism and described as a 'jihadi drug' popular among terrorist organizations in the Middle East, the specific assertion that these tablets are given to individuals before suicide attacks to make them lose their senses and detonate anywhere is not explicitly detailed in the provided sources, although the general association with making people aggressive and fearless is mentioned. The claim that this was the 'biggest operation in history' is also not explicitly confirmed, though it is described as a 'major' or 'mega' operation and the first of its kind for Captagon in India.
