Allegations and Denial:
Gurugram-based YouTuber and Big Boss OTT winner, Elvish Yadav, refutes accusations of involvement in the Noida snake venom case, asserting his presence in Mumbai during the alleged rave party. Animal rights activists had sought his arrest after snake venom was discovered in samples from the party.
Counterclaims and Accusations:
Yadav releases a 13-minute video on social media, denying any association with the party and attributing the accusations to framing. He accuses the complainant organization, People for Animals (PFA), of extortion through false claims. Despite being seen in a video allegedly from the event, Yadav maintains his innocence, challenging the police to prove his presence.
Ongoing Investigation and Criticism:
While Yadav faces scrutiny, animal activists criticize the police for alleged leniency, suggesting collusion to shield him. Despite the arrest of five snake charmers and a 'venom' agent, Yadav remains booked along with others. The discovery of snakes and venom-like substances amplifies the controversy, prompting the Noida police to compile evidence for further action.
The case underscores the intersection of social media influence, criminal allegations, and animal rights advocacy, casting a spotlight on Yadav's reputation and the integrity of law enforcement in addressing wildlife-related crimes.
