Another ‘zombie drug’ case or something more serious at play? This spine-chilling Maharashtra video is going viral

A short video from Maharashtra is rapidly picking up attention online, and it is getting people talking for different reasons. The clip is being shared widely, and with every share, new questions are coming up. Many viewers are trying to understand what exactly is happening, while others are reacting with concern after watching it.

The video has now become a trending topic on social media, with discussions going beyond just the visuals.

Man’s condition raises concern

In the video, a man is seen on 90ft Road in Bhayandar West, as mentioned in a News18 report. His posture is what has caught attention. He is bent forward near a pole, with his upper body hanging down and his hands pulled back.

Even though people are around him and a truck is visible on the road, he does not react. He stays in the same position, appearing stiff and still.

This unusual situation has left many viewers confused.

Social media reacts strongly

As the video spread, users began sharing their reactions in the comments, with some speculating about a “zombie drug.”

“This is really concerning now,” one user wrote.

Another user raised concerns about local activity and 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.”

One user said, “Zombie drug is making a slow entry in India.”

Some people also linked what they saw to drug use and said such cases could be increasing in cities.

Others urge people to stay cautious

At the same time, many users asked others not to jump to conclusions without proper 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,” one comment read.

Another user also questioned the authenticity of such videos and wrote, “Might be fake. Happened in Bangalore and turned out that person was doing it for reels/views.”

No confirmed information yet

So far, there is no official confirmation about what exactly is shown in the video. While it continues to circulate widely, it also shows how quickly assumptions can spread online.

For now, the situation remains unclear, and the conversation around it is being shaped by both concern and caution.
