Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav’s snake venom case: ED accuses him of money laundering
Elvish Yadav, YouTuber and reality show star, got into another big trouble. It was when the Enforcement Directorate (ED) accused him of a money laundering case linked to the snake venom-rave party case by the Gautam Buddh Nagar police. Yadav got arrested on March 17 and spent 14 days in judicial custody. However, he got bail from a local court just five days later.
Elvish has once again made headlines after being accused of money laundering in the snake venom case. A top ED official spilled the beans that their Lucknow unit opened a case against Yadav and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) due to the hefty money involved in the scheme. They plan to grill Yadav and the others involved in the old case.
On April 6, the Gautam Buddha Nagar police dropped a 1,200-page chargesheet under the Wildlife Conservation Act against Yadav and seven others related to the case, half a year after the FIR was filed. The chargesheet details the smuggling of snakes and the use of their venom at the parties. Reports mentioned Yadav’s connections with snake handlers and the recovery of a poisonous snake and 20 ml of krait snake venom at the party spot.
Although Yadav denied the allegations as “baseless and fake,” the police later withdrew charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, admitting it was a “mistake” on their part.
