Yadav released a video statement saying the reports linking him with rave parties where snake venom was allegedly consumed were baseless.

Hyderabad: Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner and social media sensation Elvish Yadav on Friday disputed reports over his alleged involvement in organising “rave parties” where snake venom is consumed by the attendees. In a video statement released on Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter, Elvish said that the allegations leveled against him were baseless and he was ready to face the investigation.

What is the case against Elvish Yadav: Reports on Friday said that Yadav along with five other persons were booked by Noida Police for alleged rave parties where snake venom was consumed by the attendees in Delhi-NCR. Police said that five people had been arrested with 20 ml snake venom besides nine snakes including five cobras.

Maneka Gandhi demands arrest: BJP MP Maneka Gandhi, who has been pursuing the case against Yadav through her NGO People For Animals, for some time now has demanded his arrest in the case. Gandhi said it was “disgusting act how animals and snakes are being treated”. Maneka Gandhi said that her team was continuously keeping a close watch and a member of the NGO had contacted Alvish Yadav regarding snake venom and how to organize a rave party.

“Elvish gave the number of an agent named Rahul and asked to talk to him. The informer contacted Rahul and invited him to organize a party. The complainant informed the forest department officials and the police,” she said. Sources said that the case against Yadav came after Gaurav Gupta, working as Animal Welfare Officer in BJP MP Maneka Gandhi's NGO People for Animals, lodged an FIR. He said that YouTuber Elvish Yadav along with his associates shoots videos with snake venom and live snakes in the farm houses of Noida-NCR.

Elvish Yadav denies allegation: Yadav denied the allegations and also requested the media not to publish any article against him “without solid evidence”. “Please do not spoil my name and whatever allegations are made against me, I have nothing to do with it,” he said. He also hit out at Maneka Gandhi over her allegations.
