The Noida police department has launched a detailed investigation into allegations against renowned YouTuber and Big Boss winner, Elvish Yadav, regarding the use of snake venom at rave parties. The 26-year-old social media sensation has vehemently denied all accusations made against him.
The inquiry was initiated after the police apprehended five individuals following a trap set by the non-governmental organization People for Animals (PFA). PFA operatives posed as interested customers, contacting the accused to arrange for cobras and pythons purportedly meant for a party they claimed to be hosting.
A phone call recording between one of the accused, Rahul, and a member of PFA, Gaurav Gupta, has surfaced, providing crucial evidence to the police. In this conversation, the accused admitted to sourcing snakes from other states due to heightened security in Delhi. Shockingly, the accused assured the PFA member that venom had been removed from all the snakes and even mentioned the presence of a “trainer” at the party to allow children to take pictures.
The conversation insinuated a link between the accused individuals and Elvish Yadav’s alleged parties. The accused claimed that Yadav’s events attracted foreigners and influential personalities, asserting that even the police turned a blind eye to their activities in Delhi’s Chhattarpur.
Moreover, the snake smuggler boldly marketed himself as the best organizer in the business, claiming connections with Yadav and even boasted of international engagements for such events. Another person, posing as a snake charmer, mentioned the risks involved due to the government’s ban on snake possession for such gatherings.
During negotiations, the accused hinted that they received Yadav’s contact information directly from the YouTuber himself, insinuating his involvement in the procurement of snakes for these parties.
The police action revealed the rescue of nine snakes, including cobras, from the possession of those arrested. Additionally, seized snake venom was sent for testing to determine if it contained psychotropic properties that could induce a drug-like effect in humans.
During interrogations, the arrested individuals alleged that they supplied snake venom for rave parties organized by Elvish Yadav. They disclosed the alarming practice of using snake venom, known as ophidism, as a form of substance abuse, raising significant concerns about the dangers associated with such activities.
Elvish Yadav has refuted any association with these events, denying involvement in organizing parties where snake venom was allegedly used. The investigation continues to uncover the extent of his involvement and the potential risks associated with such unconventional and hazardous practices in the realm of party hosting and substance abuse.
