A video from Mira Bhayandar, Maharashtra has sparked concern after showing a man standing in a strange posture on a public road. He appears still and unaware of what is happening around him.
The clip has led to many reactions online. Some users linked it to fears of a “zombie drug,” while others said there is no proof and warned against spreading panic.
Man Seen In Unusual Posture On Road
The incident is said to have taken place on 90ft Road in Bhayandar West. In the video, the man is seen bent forward near a pole, with his upper body hanging down and his hands pulled back. He does not seem to move or react.
People nearby can be seen watching him. A truck is parked on the road, and a few pedestrians pass by, but the man remains in the same position. His body looks stiff, and he appears unable to stand straight or respond.
The clip was first shared by a local Instagram page and soon spread widely across social media platforms.
Online Reactions Raise Concern
As more people watched the video, many expressed worry about what they were seeing. “This is really concerning now,” a user wrote.
Another said, “Local police please take some action. Even outside Jangid Complex circle some folks sell openly drugs every night after 10 pm. Kindly intervene before next gen gets affected beyond repair.”
Some users linked the behaviour to drug use and said such incidents are becoming more common in cities.
Others Question The Claims
At the same time, several users urged caution and asked people not to assume anything without proof. “NCB is yet to confirm officially any such thing in India as an epidemic. And people can be like this for multiple reasons, don’t target anyone unnecessarily,” a comment read.
Another added, “Might be fake. Happened in Bangalore and turned out that person was doing it for reels/views.”
Similar Clips Add To Debate
This is not the first such video to appear online. Similar visuals have earlier surfaced from places like Bihar and Bengaluru, where people were seen behaving in unusual ways on roads.
Some reports have mentioned a substance called Xylazine, which can make a person slow and unresponsive. However, there is no official confirmation linking it to this case. Police have said that the videos are still being checked.
A viral video from the Mira-Bhayandar area of Maharashtra has recently sparked intense "zombie drug" rumors across social media.
The Situation in Mira-Bhayandar
The Incident: The video, which surfaced around April 14–15, 2026, shows a youth in a frozen, statue-like posture on a road at night.
Local residents and netizens speculated that such "frozen" behavior is a hallmark of Xylazine, a veterinary sedative that can cause humans to lose consciousness or become unresponsive while standing. Police Response: The Mira-Bhayandar-Vasai-Virar (MBVV) Police have taken note of the video and are currently in the process of verifying its authenticity.
Authorities are trying to identify the individual to determine if the behavior was due to narcotics, a medical condition, or a staged act.
Context and Caution
It is important to approach these "zombie drug" reports with caution, as similar viral scares in India have recently been debunked:
The Bengaluru Precedent: Just last week (April 9, 2026), a near-identical video went viral in Bengaluru, showing a man swaying and motionless.
However, Bengaluru Police tracked the man down and conducted medical tests. The Verdict: The man was not on zombie drugs; he had consumed alcohol alongside medication for arthritis and sinus issues, which caused a severe adverse reaction.
Legal Action: Police arrested the individual who first shared the video for spreading misinformation and creating panic.
What is the "Zombie Drug"?
Xylazine is a non-opioid sedative used by veterinarians for large animals (like horses). When used by humans, it can:
Cause a "trance-like" state where the user appears frozen.
Slow down breathing and heart rate to dangerous levels.
Lead to severe skin ulcerations and infections (hence the "zombie" moniker).
Current Status: While the Mira-Bhayandar police investigation is ongoing, health experts and authorities urge the public not to panic or circulate unverified videos, as these incidents are often linked to more common substances or medical emergencies rather than a "zombie" epidemic.
