Elvish Yadav, the winner of Big Boss OTT 2, has reportedly been arrested on March 17 and sent to 14-day judicial custody following allegations of supplying snake venom at parties to boost his social media following and generate income, as per sources cited by Indian Express, quoting Noida Police.
Despite denial of the accusations during questioning, Yadav is said to have been implicated by substantial evidence. According to a police officer, Yadav’s motive appeared to be portraying himself as fearless and beyond the reach of law enforcement, seeking to enhance his image among fans.
The investigation has revealed that snake venom was allegedly utilized at more than six parties associated with the YouTuber, with Yadav purportedly present at some of these gatherings. Authorities are in the process of identifying attendees, intending to take action against those involved in the use of the venom.
In a separate case, Gurugram Police is reportedly seeking a production warrant for Yadav over accusations of assaulting content creator Sagar Thakur, alias Maxtern, in a Gurugram mall. A petition is set to be filed in the Ghaziabad court for Yadav’s arrest in connection with this incident.
On March 8, Yadav was caught on video allegedly assaulting Thakur, prompting Thakur to file a complaint with the Sector 53 Police Station in Gurugram. Despite receiving two notices from the police, Yadav did not appear. Initially, he claimed the incident was pre-planned by Thakur but later issued an apology through another video statement.
