According to police sources, Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav has confessed to arranging snakes and snake venom at rave parties organised by him, reported NDTV.
The 26-year-old YouTuber was remanded in 14-day judicial custody following his arrest, indicating the seriousness of the charges levelled against him and the legal proceedings underway.
Elvish Yadav now faces additional charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, particularly Section 29, which pertains to drug-related conspiracies such as buying and selling, further complicating his legal predicament.
Besides the snake venom allegations, Elvish Yadav is also accused of incorporating snakes into his video shoots, with earlier claims suggesting that the reptiles were arranged by Bollywood singer Fazilpuria, as per police sources.
The police had previously arrested five individuals, including four snake charmers, in connection with the case after a raid at a banquet hall in Noida, where nine snakes and snake venom were confiscated, following a complaint by an NGO member.
The investigation was initiated following a complaint by an NGO member, who, after laying a trap and contacting Yadav for snake venom, traced the phone number provided to the five accused, leading to their apprehension.
With Elvish Yadav's admission and the ongoing probe, the case involving the arrangement and distribution of snake venom at rave parties raises significant legal and ethical questions, highlighting the need for thorough investigation and accountability.
