Earlier on April 6, 2024, a chargesheet was filed against Elvish Yadav that included snake venom case-related videos. Read on to find more details.
Noida: YouTuber Elvish Yadav, winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, is facing more trouble as Noida Police files a 1200-page charge sheet against him and eight associates in the snake venom case. The document details several incriminating pieces of evidence. Additionally, a report from a Jaipur lab confirming the presence of snake venom has been included in the chargesheet. Read on to find more information.
Key Evidence Against Elvish Yadav
A crucial point in the chargesheet is the link between the snakes confiscated during a raid and the 20 milliliters of venom found at the scene. Forensic analysis confirms the venom came from the very same snakes retrieved by police, significantly strengthening the case against Yadav. The chargesheet’s details paint a clearer picture of Yadav’s alleged involvement in acquiring and using snake venom at rave parties. The court has taken cognizance of the chargesheet, and the case is likely to proceed.
The police investigation relied heavily on a forensic lab report from Jaipur to substantiate the claims against Elvish Yadav. This report, along with electronic evidence, witness statements (24 in total), and inconsistencies in Elvish’s answers during police interrogation (where he faced 124 questions) formed the basis for the case. The Noida Police believe most of the rave parties occurred in Gurugram and that Elvish was heavily involved in them.
Earlier on April 6, 2024, a chargesheet was filed against Elvish Yadav that included snake venom case-related videos, call details and other electronic evidence as the basis for the case. Furthermore, evidence has been included in the chargesheet regarding the sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act that have been imposed on Elvish Yadav. The case dates back to November of last year when an FIR was registered against Elvish Yadav and eight others, including five snake charmers, who were subsequently arrested. Recently, three individuals, including Elvish Yadav, were also arrested in connection with the case.
Last year, the Noida Police conducted a raid on a banquet hall in Sector 51 based on a complaint filed by the People For Animals (PFA) organisation. During the raid, five people were arrested and nine venomous snakes were recovered. The PFA had filed an FIR naming Elvish and accusing him of organizing rave parties to which foreigners were invited and poisonous snakes were arranged. It is important to note that under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, removing the venom glands of a snake is considered a punishable offense, and those found guilty can face imprisonment for up to seven years.
