Bigg Boss OTT Winner and YouTube fame Elvish Yadav has once again landed himself in trouble.

The news agency also informed that the YouTuber will be presented in court today.
What was the matter?
In 2023, a complaint was filed by the People For Animals (PFA) organisation and later the Noida police had raided a banquet hall located in Sector 51 and arrested five people. In its FIR, the PFA implicated Elvish, alleging his involvement in organizing rave parties where foreigners are invited and poisonous snakes are arranged. The Noida Police interrogated him for over two hours regarding the matter. According to investigations conducted by the veterinary department, out of the nine snakes, the venom glands of five cobras were removed, while the other four were found to be non-poisonous.
Further, a total of nine venomous snakes were recovered during the raid. Under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, removing the venom glands of a snake is a punishable offence, and the person who is found guilty can be put behind bars for at least seven years.
