“In last few months, Elvish Fan Pages spread hate and propaganda which made me distressed, and I consulted an NGO for counselling.

When he came to the store, he and his 8-10 goons, who were drunk started beating me and started using abusive language,” he stated.
Based on the complaint, a case under sections 147 (punishment for rioting), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC has been registered against Elvish Yadav at Gurugram’s Sector-53 Police Station.
