The Noida Police issued a notice to Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav on Tuesday in connection with the snake venom case, as reported by ANI. He will most likely be interrogated soon.
Yadav, who gained game after winning Salman Khan’s ‘Big Boss OTT 2’ reality show, was booked along with five others for allegedly providing snake venom for recreational reasons at a party in Delhi-NCR, according to a complaint filed by an animal welfare activist. The other five suspects in the case have already been identified as Rahul, Titunath, Jayakaran, Narayan and Ravinath.
As per a complaint filed by BJP MP Maneka Gandhi’s People For Animals, they carried out a “sting operation” in which they contacted Yadav and asked him to organise a rave party and get Cobra venom. “Elvish gave us the name of one Rahul whom we contacted. He said he could organise the venom wherever we wanted. He then came to Sector 51 Banquet Hall with the Venom. The Noida police then came to the venue along with the DFO and arrested the organisers,” the complaint stated.
Elvish has agreed to cooperate in the investigation, but he has also threatened to file a defamation case against the BJP MP.
