On November 3, the Noida Police filed a case against Elvish Yadav, the winner of Bigg Boss OTT and a prominent social media influencer, along with the arrest of five other individuals. They were allegedly involved in the use of snake venom during rave parties. Nevertheless, Yadav has refuted the allegations and conveyed his readiness to assist the police in their investigation.
When questioned by a reporter from Republic India about the serious accusations against Elvish Yadav, his father unequivocally dismissed all the allegations as ‘groundless.’ He stated, “The claims against my son are entirely without merit. May God grant wisdom to the accuser.”
Elvish Yadav’s father faced questions regarding the statement made by BJP MP Maneka Gandhi. In response, he expressed that his child is the only one left to confront these accusations. He recounted that when he spoke to his son after the allegations arose, his son assured him, saying, “Dad, it’s not true. I haven’t done anything.” The YouTuber’s father also mentioned that he is presently in Mumbai for his professional commitments.
Elvish Yadav’s father asserts that his son claims he is the target of a frame-up and has no involvement in the rave party or snake-related issues. Furthermore, the family is expressing their willingness to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
