In the clip, Verma questions whether the individual may have consumed drugs or could be suffering from a medical condition, calling the situation 'very concerning' and seeking opinions from viewers.

Similar Incident Reported In Mira-Bhayandar

The incident comes days after similar viral videos surfaced from Bhayandar West, where youths were seen displaying erratic and trance-like behaviour, including standing frozen or contorting their bodies unnaturally.

These incidents, reported near areas such as 90-Feet Road and Balasaheb Thackeray Ground, sparked fears about the spread of a dangerous synthetic narcotic informally dubbed the 'zombie drug.'

'Zombie Drug' Scare Hits Mira-Bhayandar? Viral Videos Spark Police Probe

Following public concern, the Mira-Bhayandar Vasai-Virar Police (MBVV) have launched an investigation. Deputy Commissioner of Police Rahul Chavan said authorities are verifying the authenticity of the videos and trying to identify the individuals involved.

“We are investigating the exact nature of the substance involved. If narcotics are found to be in circulation, strict action will be taken,” he said, adding that the incidents may fall under the jurisdiction of local police stations in the Bhayandar area.

What Is Zombie Drug?

The term 'zombie drug' is commonly used to describe substances like Xylazine or certain synthetic cannabinoids, which can severely depress the nervous system. Users may lose motor control, exhibit frozen or disoriented postures and in extreme cases suffer respiratory failure or severe psychological detachment.

Authorities have urged citizens not to jump to conclusions based on viral content, as the exact cause behind the behaviour seen in the videos, whether drug use, medical emergency or other factors, remains unconfirmed.
