Big Boss OTT winner and YouTuber Elvish Yadav has reportedly confessed to the police that he ordered snakes and snake venom for the rave parties.
Police had rescued nine snakes, including five cobras, from the possession of the accused on November 3. Investigations revealed that the venom glands were missing in all nine snakes. Police also seized 20 ml of snake venom from them.
The incident involving Elvish Yadav and others allegedly assaulting a Delhi-based content creator in Noida is indeed concerning. The emergence of a viral video depicting the purported assault has brought attention to the matter on social media platforms. The serious allegations made by the complainant, including attempted harm to his spine and threats to his life, highlight the severity of the situation.
It’s important for law enforcement to thoroughly investigate the matter and ensure that justice is served. Assault and threats of violence are serious offenses that should not be taken lightly. The legal process will need to run its course to determine the facts of the case and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
Elvish Yadav has refuted the charges of involvement in the case and has been questioned by police in the past.
Youtuber Elvish Yadav was arrested on Sunday by Noida Police in connection with a probe into the suspected use of snake venom as a recreational drug at a party here, officials said.
Yadav was among six people named in an FIR lodged at Sector 49 police station here on November 3 last year. The five other accused were arrested but are currently out on bail, the officials said. The case was lodged under provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and for criminal conspiracy under section 120B of the Indian Penal Code, they said.
The case was later shifted from Sector 49 to Sector 20 police station for investigation. “The accused has been arrested by a team of Sector 20 police station which was investigating the case,” Additional DCP (Noida) Manish Mishra told PTI. Yadav, a winner of the reality show Bigg Boss OTT, has refuted the charges of involvement in the case and has been questioned by the police in the past. A sub-inspector, who was also the charge of the local Sector 49 police station where the FIR was registered, was shunted.
The case was lodged on the complaint of an official of animal rights group People For Animals (PFA). Five people were arrested from a banquet hall in Sector 51 on November 3 and nine snakes, including five cobras, were rescued from their possession while 20 ml of suspected snake venom was also seized. However, police said Yadav was not present at the party hall and they were probing his role in the whole case of snake venom use as a recreational drug.
PFA chairperson and BJP leader Maneka Gandhi has accused Yadav of involvement in illegally selling snake venom and sought his immediate arrest. On November 4, Yadav was briefly stopped for questioning by police in Rajasthan’s Kota while he was traveling with his friends in a car but was let off soon.
