All About The Snake Venom Case
Elvish Yadav became associated with the snake venom case last year when his name was initially mentioned. The involvement emerged after the arrest of a group of five individuals in connection with a party held in November. During a police raid in Noida sector 49, nine snakes, including five cobras, were found, along with approximately 20 ml of snake venom.
During that period, the detained group asserted that they provided Elvish with snakes and snake venom for his events. However, Elvish refuted these claims. He underwent questioning on November 7, 2023, regarding the matter, stating that the snakes were provided to the Noida rave party by singer Fazilpuria.
Nonetheless, on Sunday, March 17, authorities apprehended Elvish. He was placed under judicial custody and is expected to be held for 14 days.
