Elvish Yadav cases.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned well-known YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav on Thursday on a money laundering case related to a snake venom-rave party event.
Investigators from the Enforcement Department’s unit in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, questioned Elvish Yadav.
Elvish Yadav was last questioned by the ED in July. Officials from the Lucknow division of the central agency questioned him for about seven hours.
Given the significant sum of money involved in the scam, the ED filed a complaint in May of this year under the Prevention of Money Laundering (PMLA) Act about the snake venom incident.
Yadav was previously taken into jail on March 17 and held for 14 days. However, five days later, a local court granted him bail.

The case against Elvish Yadav
The controversial 26-year-old YouTuber, who also won Bigg Boss OTT 2, was arrested by Noida Police under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Wildlife Protection Act, and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Yadav was one of the six persons mentioned in a formal complaint (FIR) filed on November 3, 2018, at Noida’s Sector 49 police station, following a complaint by a People for Animals (PFA) representative. The five other the accused, who are all snake charmers, were taken into custody in November and subsequently granted bail by a local court.
Police eventually dismissed charges against Yadav under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, claiming that it was a “mistake” on their part, despite Yadav having previously denied the charges as “baseless and fake.”
Following his July interrogation, an unnamed official had stated that the agency was not happy with his responses and would probably interrogate him again after gathering additional information about snake charmers and other related topics.
The officer stated that on July 8, many hours were spent questioning Rahul Yadav, a musician from Haryana and close acquaintance of Elvish Yadav known as Fazilpuriya, at the ED Lucknow office.
