The Gautam Buddha Nagar police on Friday arrested five people in connection with a rave party allegedly organised by Bigg Boss winner and YouTuber Elvish Yadav, where prohibited snake venom was used at a banquet hall in Sector 51 in Noida.
According to the police, they recovered nine snakes during the raid and an investigation is underway.
Other than the five arrested people, Elvish Yadav has also been named in the FIR. The police acted on a complaint filed by the animal welfare officer of People for Animals (PFA), an organisation run by Lok Sabha MP Maneka Gandhi.
“We had received information that a YouTuber named Elvish Yadav shoots videos with snake venom and live snakes in farmhouses in Noida and NCR along with other gang members/YouTubers and organizes rave parties illegally. On such occasions, foreign girls are regularly called and snake venom and intoxicants are consumed,” reads the FIR, filed on the complaint of Gaurav Gupta, an Animal Welfare officer of PFA.
It added, “Acting on this information, one of our informers contacted Elvish Yadav and asked him to organise a rave party in Noida and make arrangements for snakes and cobra venom. When we talked to his agent with the reference of Elvish Yadav, he agreed. Then he agreed to come to the banquet hall located in Sector 51. We informed DFO Noida… and further complained about it at the Sector 49 police station.”
The arrested people are Rahul, Teetunath, Jaikaran, Narayan, and Ravinath — residents of Badarpur, Delhi.
An FIR under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 120B (Criminal conspiracy) and sections 9, 39, 48A, 49, 50, and 51 of The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 has been registered at the Sector 49 police station.
