The viral clip has triggered widespread concern among residents, with some alleging open drug activity in parts of the locality during late hours. Social media users have called for stricter monitoring and prompt police intervention.

Parents and community members have also expressed worry about the potential impact on young people, especially if such substances are becoming accessible in the area.

What Are ‘Zombie Drugs’?

The term “zombie drugs” is commonly used to describe certain synthetic substances that can severely affect the brain and body. These drugs may leave individuals disoriented, unresponsive, or unable to control their movements, often resulting in behaviour that appears rigid or unnatural.

While the exact substance in the Mira-Bhayander case has not been confirmed, similar incidents have been reported in cities such as Bengaluru and Chandigarh, raising concerns about a broader trend.

Police said they are also examining possible supply chains of synthetic drugs as part of the investigation. In recent operations, law enforcement agencies have seized narcotics worth crores from multiple states, indicating ongoing efforts to curb drug trafficking. Officials have urged the public to avoid speculation and report any suspicious activity, while assuring that the situation is being closely monitored.
