Ongoing Snake Venom Case Against Elvish Yadav
The firing incident comes as Elvish Yadav continues to face a separate criminal trial. The YouTuber has been named in a case linked to the alleged use of snake venom as a recreational drug at rave parties.
In May this year, the Allahabad High Court rejected Yadav’s petition challenging the chargesheet in the case. His lawyers argued that he had not attended the Noida party where the alleged offence took place. They also said that no snakes, narcotics, or psychotropic substances were recovered from him.

Senior advocate Navin Sinha and lawyer Nipun Singh further contended that the complainant lacked the authority to file the case under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Despite the defence, the court allowed criminal proceedings to continue.
Noida Police arrested Yadav in March last year in connection with the case. He was later released on bail but continues to face trial.
Shockwaves Across Fans and Social Media
Fans have expressed amazement at the shooting attack. Reactions are pouring in on social media, with many people worried about Yadav’s safety. To find and apprehend the gunmen, police warned that their investigations will get more intense in the days ahead.
