Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav accused of supplying snake venom at rave party, denies charge

YouTuber Elvish Yadav has denied alleged involvement in the supply of snake venom at a rave party in Noida. This came after an FIR was filed against six people including the YouTuber for supplying the venom.

Elvish Yadav, in a video posted on Instagram, claimed that all allegations against him are false.

"I woke up and heard the news about my alleged arrest in the media. All these allegations against me are fake and without truth. They are not even 1 per cent true. I am willing to cooperate with UP Police. I request the UP Government and the UP CM Yogi Adityanath that even if there is a 0.1 per cent involvement in this then I am willing to take full responsibility. I request the media to not spread any misinformation till then, I have nothing to do with this."

Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh forest department and Noida police conducted a joint raid at Sector 51 Saffron Villa at Noida and busted the gang for allegedly supplying snake venom at a rave party.

Uttar Pradesh police said, "FIR registered at Noida Sector 49 Police Station against six people, including YouTuber and Bigg Boss winner Elvish Yadav, for making available snake venom at rave parties. They used to collect a hefty sum of money for supplying the venom at parties. Nine snakes were also rescued in a raid."

The police meanwhile arrested five persons Rahul, Titunath, Jayakaran, Narayan and Ravinath from the banquet hall. Five cobras, a red snake, a python and two other snakes were recovered from the party venue.

According to the FIR based on a complaint filed by People For Animals, "A YouTuber named Elvish Yadav provided snake venom and live snakes in Noida and created videos with other gang members/Youtubers in NCR farmhouse. They organised shoots and organised rave parties illegally. They regularly invited foreign girls and consumed snake venom and intoxicants. Rahul his accomplice acted as an agent on his behalf."

The FIR says " One of our informants contacted Elvish Yadav and asked him to organise the rave party and get Cobra Venom. Elvish gave us the name of one Rahul whom we contacted. He said he can organise the venom wherever we want. He then came to Sector 51 Banquet hall with the Venom. The Noida police then came to the venue along with the DFO and arrested the organisers."
