Popular YouTuber and winner of the Bigg Boss OTT 2 show, Elvish Yadav has landed himself in trouble again as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued a fresh summons on Wednesday. Elvish has been asked to appear at the Lucknow office on September 5, 2024, in connection with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case. The social media influencer has been asked to appear for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the alleged use of snake venom as a recreational drug at parties he hosted and related financial transactions. He was also summoned by the central agency in the month of July.
In May, ED registered a case against Elvish under the PMLA, taking cognizance of an FIR and a chargesheet filed by the Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) district police in Uttar Pradesh against him and others associated with him.
The Noida police arrested Elvish in March this year following an investigation and accused him of holding parties where snake venom was allegedly used. The charges against Elvish related not only to drug use but also to trafficking of endangered species.
The Noida police also booked him under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS), the Wildlife Protection Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Yadav was among six people named in an FIR lodged at Noida’s Sector 49 police station on November 3 last year following a complaint filed by a representative of animal rights NGO People for Animals (PFA). The other five accused, all snake charmers, were arrested in November and later granted bail by a local court.
