Gagan Brar and Kamaldeep Kaur Died After Taking Mystery Green Pills in Southall Flat

A young couple from Southall, Gagan Brar (28) and Kamaldeep Kaur (20), were found dead in their flat after reportedly taking mystery green pills believed to be deadly synthetic opioids.

The couple was discovered unresponsive in their bedroom on Monday, May 26, by their flatmates, following a night out during the spring Bank Holiday weekend. Emergency services were called to the flat on Havelock Road, Southall, where they confirmed both had died.

Suspected Overdose from Synthetic Opioids

Authorities suspect the couple may have mistaken the green pills for sleeping tablets or oxycodone, a prescription painkiller. However, the pills may actually contain nitazenes, a highly dangerous synthetic opioid that is hundreds of times stronger than heroin.

Photos of the pills taken by police show blue-green tablets marked with the number ‘80’ on one side, and letters that appear to be ‘OP’ on the other.

London Ambulance Service and Police Issue Public Warnings

The London Ambulance Service has issued an urgent warning about synthetic opioids currently being sold across the capital. A spokesperson said that the drugs can cause shallow breathing, unconsciousness, and blue lips or fingertips. Anyone seeing these symptoms is urged to call 999 immediately.

The Metropolitan Police is continuing investigations. A statement said no arrests have been made yet, and they are working with health services and councils to spread awareness.

Ealing Council also released a safety notice. They confirmed the pills were likely bought after the couple attended a South London nightclub on Saturday, May 24. The council warned that illegally bought drugs can have unknown and fatal effects.

Victims Were Seen as Hardworking and Friendly

Gagan Brar, originally from India, worked as a driver for Bollywood celebrities visiting the UK. Kamaldeep Kaur had recently graduated from university and worked in the hospitality industry.

Neighbours described them as kind, ambitious, and respectful. A father-of-three living nearby said: “They were a clean-cut, hardworking couple. It’s a total shock. If it can happen to them, it can happen to anyone.”

Another resident added: “They were great company. We used to watch cricket together. They had bright futures.”

Flatmates of the couple were reportedly in deep shock. One of them even vomited after finding the bodies. Police and ambulances rushed to the scene shortly after.

Nightclubs and Recovery Centres Also Warning Public

Popular London clubs like Ministry of Sound have started warning partygoers about dangerous pills circulating in the city. Drug recovery services and local councils are also spreading the message, asking people to avoid any unknown or unmarked pills.

Stay Alert: What to Watch For

The dangerous pills involved in the deaths of Gagan Brar and Kamaldeep Kaur may appear to be:

• Blue-green in color

• Stamped with ‘80’ and possibly ‘OP’

• Marketed falsely as oxycodone or sleeping pills

If you or someone you know experiences symptoms after drug use—drowsiness, unconsciousness, blue lips or fingertips—get emergency help immediately.
