Elvish Yadav has landed in another trouble. A fresh FIR has been filed against the YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner for allegedly using prohibited snakes in his music videos. The case was filed by Gurugram police days after animal rights activist Saurabh Gupta approached the court to object to Elvish’s video.
Gupta, who works with BJP MP Maneka Gandhi’s People for Animals, stated that Elvish and 50 other people were seen using snakes which are prohibited under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, in a viral video. Besides Elvish Yadav, singer Rahul Yadav, popularly known as Fazalpuria has also been booked.
This is the second case against Elvish Yadav which is related to snakes. Just a few days back, he was arrested by Noida Police in a snake poisoning case. The case was lodged under provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and for criminal conspiracy under section 120B of the Indian Penal Code, they said. A day after his arrest, NDTV claimed Elvish had admitted to his crimes. However, no official statement was released.
A week later, Yadav was granted bail, on a 50,000 bail bond. Talking about the same, his lawyer Prashant Rathi told the media, “Our arguments in this case was that he was falsely accused and no substance was obtained from him or his friends that violated the NDPS act. The court has granted bail to him (Elvish Yadav) as well as his two friends on two sureties of Rs 50,000 each.”
Later, Elvish also recalled the time he spent in jail and called it a “very bad phase of his life”. “The one week that went by, no doubt, was a very bad phase of life. What to talk about the time I was inside (jail). Let’s start a new chapter on a positive note. All those who supported me didn’t support me, talked badly or well about me, thanks to all. I can only thank everyone. I am back to my work,” he said in one of his vlogs.
