Popular YouTuber Elvish Yadav, currently under scrutiny for his alleged involvement in the illegal supply of venom from endangered snakes, including cobras, at rave parties in Noida and Gurugram, has fired back at Union Minister Maneka Gandhi. Maneka Gandhi’s NGO orchestrated the operation to unveil Elvish’s purported role in the illicit trade.
Expressing his disbelief, Elvish Yadav took to social media platform X on Friday, stating, “Shocked to see such people sitting on such posts.” He further suggested that Maneka Gandhi should “keep the apology ready” given the allegations she has made against him.
Elvish Yadav drew a parallel to Maneka Gandhi’s previous accusation against ISKCON, where she alleged that ISKCON was selling old cows to “butchers.” ISKCON had subsequently taken legal action against Maneka Gandhi, labeling her claims as “baseless.”
In response to the allegations, Elvish released a video on Friday in which he vehemently denied the charges and expressed his willingness to “take responsibility” if the allegations were substantiated by the Uttar Pradesh Police.
Maneka Gandhi, on the other hand, elaborated on how her NGO’s members initiated the operation to expose Elvish Yadav. She revealed that her team contacted him, posing as potential buyers of snake venom. After being assured of Elvish’s involvement, he agreed to sell the venom, providing evidence of his role in the illegal trade, according to Maneka Gandhi.
