MDMA Angle Shocks 9×9 Event
The disturbing incident took place on April 11, 2026, when around 25 students from a reputed South Mumbai college attended the 9×9 music concert at NESCO. During the event, a yellow pill, suspected to be MDMA, was allegedly circulated among the group.

According to the survivor, she was handed the pill by a classmate. She claimed that others in the group had consumed similar substances. She also said that everything seemed normal the very last time she saw her friend while they were dancing. The woman also stated that the substance resembled Ecstasy, which she had seen at similar events before.
