A viral video showing two men standing motionless led to claims of a “zombie drug” being used in Punjab. Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh shared the video and raised concerns about drug use in Punjab. Punjab Police later clarified that the video was recorded in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. Rajasthan Police identified the men as Yogesh, 26, and Jogendra, 29. Police said they had consumed Pregabalin, a prescription medicine used for nerve pain, epilepsy and fibromyalgia. In May 2026, the Health Ministry placed Pregabalin under Schedule H1, requiring a valid prescription for its sale.
