Elvish Yadav arrested in Noida snake venom case, sent to 14-day judicial custody
In relation to the snake poison case, Elvish Yadav was taken into the custody of the Noida Police on Sunday and placed under 14 days of judicial supervision. Elvish, a YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT2 winner, was arrested after the authorities contacted him for more interrogation over the issue. On social media, a clip of Elvish posing with law enforcement is also making the rounds, purporting to show the YouTuber being arrested.
According to a forensic study, samples taken from the party contained snake venom, specifically from the cobra and krait species.
In a sting operation by Maneka Gandhi’s People for Animals in Noida’s Sector 51, six people—including YouTuber Elvish Yadav—were accused of supplying snake venom for a party. They were charged under the Wildlife (Protection) Act and Section 120A of the Indian Penal Code (criminal conspiracy). Elvish’s involvement in the rave party and obtaining snakes for such gatherings was being investigated, while the other five were placed under custody.
In an effort to expose the mistreatment of rare species, People for species carried out a sting operation and contacted Elvish Yadav after receiving information about his network of accomplices. The complaint claims that Elvish assisted them by connecting them with those who ultimately set up snake venom. In his videos, Elvish stood beside snakes.
After being questioned about the case multiple times, Elvish Yadav denied all of the accusations.
People For Animals conducted a sting operation on nine snakes that were discovered during the celebration; all of the snakes had had their venom glands removed. Out of the nine snakes, eight lacked teeth.
The rave party incident dates back to November 3, 2018, and it took place in a banquet hall located in Noida Sector 51. Elvish wasn’t at the celebration.
Following the worldwide success of his film of YouTuer Maxtern, as Sagar Thakur, being beaten up, Elvish found himself in yet another controversy. Elvish thrashed Maxtern, and he gave an explanation for it in a statement after a FIR was filed against him in Gurugram.
