BB OTT S2 Winner Elvish Yadav Faces Allegations of Snake Venom Supply at Rave, Denies Accusations!

Elvish Yadav, the winner of BB OTT Season 2 and a YouTuber, was accused of supplying snake venom to a rave party in Noida, sparking a controversy. An FIR was lodged against six individuals, including Yadav, for purportedly facilitating the distribution of venom.

In response to these accusations, Elvish Yadav vehemently denied any involvement. In an Instagram video, he refuted the claims, stating that all these allegations against him are false and without truth. He expressed his willingness to cooperate with the UP Police and urged the government not to believe the misinformation.

The incident unfolded when a joint raid conducted by the Uttar Pradesh forest department and Noida police uncovered a group allegedly supplying snake venom at Sector 51 Saffron Villa in Noida. Five individuals were apprehended from the banquet hall, and the police rescued nine snakes, including cobras and other species, said the Uttar Pradesh police.

The FIR, based on a complaint filed by People for Animals, alleges that Yadav provided snake venom and live snakes, facilitating illegal shoots and rave parties. The accused purportedly invited foreign guests and consumed venom and other intoxicants. Further investigations revealed the accused charged exorbitant sums for supplying the poison at such events. 20 to 25 ml of intoxicating poison was also recovered from the accused.

The case has been filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code under section 120-B and sections 9, 39,48A, 49, 50, 51 of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972.  Parmod Kumar, District Forest Officer, confirmed the arrest of five individuals and the recovery of snakes, while the police mentioned the retrieval of intoxicating substances from the accused.

The situation remains under investigation, with both sides presenting contrasting narratives regarding the alleged involvement in the supply of snake venom at the rave party.
