The Noida police on Sunday arrested YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav in the snake venom case, in which he and five Delhi residents are accused of selling snake venom at rave parties in the National Capital Region.
Following a tip-off from People for Animals, an NGO run by BJP Sultanpur MP Maneka Gandhi, the police arrested five people from the Chevron banquet hall in Noida Sector 51 in November 2023. While Yadav was named as one of the accused in the FIR, he was not arrested then. The police interrogated the Bigg Boss winner two times and collected related evidence.
Manish Kumar Mishra, additional DCP of Noida, said that Elvish Yadav would soon be produced before a court.
The FIR, which was registered on the complaint of Gaurav Gupta, the NGO’s animal welfare officer, reads, “We received information that a YouTuber named Elvish Yadav shoots videos with snake venom and live snakes in farmhouses in Noida and NCR along with other gang members/YouTubers and organises rave parties illegally. On such occasions, foreign girls are regularly called and snake venom and intoxicants are consumed.”
The police had recovered 20ml of snake venom, five cobras, one python, two two-headed snakes and a rat snake. They said that krait venom was found in samples sent to the forensic science laboratory in Jaipur.
The FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code sections 120B (criminal conspiracy) and sections 9, 39, 48A, 49, 50 and 51 of The Wildlife (Protection) Act at the Sector 49 police station.
