Sayeth the BBC:

the Indian defense establishment is researching a form of hand grenade
using capsules of Bhut Jolokia (they don't say in what form) in place of
explosives, to produce non-lethal crowd-control weapons.
Curiously, the story also states that the same chile will be used as a
food additive for Indian troops. Seems to me the Jolokia would be a more
effective weapon added to the /enemy's/ curry...
