Elvish Yadav was also questioned by Noida Police.

Rahul Yadav, one of the prime accused, has been kept in remand for another day of questioning, as they investigate Elvish Yadav's involvement in the case.

Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav has landed in trouble after a raid in Noida. In early November, it was reported that raids were conducted in Noida Sector 49 and five cobra snakes were recovered from the raid. It was revealed that nine other snakes were also rescued in the raid while snake venom was also found at the spot. In the investigations that followed the people who were arrested have taken the name of social media influencer and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW: Rahul Yadav, one of the prime accused, has been kept in remand for another day of questioning, as they investigate his potential involvement in the case. Earlier this week, the police found a diary at Rahul’s house mentioning several locations where snake venom might have been supplied instead of opioids. The police believe that questioning Rahul is crucial to understanding if YouTuber and reality TV star Elvish Yadav was involved in the case.

WHAT THE POLICE SAY: “During Rahul’s remand last week, we had recovered a diary from his house. The diary had a list of locations where parties were held. Some contact numbers of people, who are believed to have organised these parties, have also been found. We wanted to Rahul question him in custody further to find the involvement of Elvish in the case,” an officer, who is part of the investigation, said, as quoted by ETimes.

THE CASE BACKGROUND: Elvish, along with five others, was charged last week based on a complaint from BJP MP Maneka Gandhi’s NGO, People for Animals (PFA), accusing him of providing snake venom at gatherings. He underwent questioning in connection with the case last week. The remaining individuals accused, including Rahul Yadav, are Teetunath (45), Jaikaran (50), Narayan (50), and Ravinath (45), all residing in Delhi’s Badarpur. They were all apprehended on November 2.

Elvish Yadav issued a video clarification on the matter. Taking to social media, he said that the rumours are baseless and devoid of proof.
