Lucknow. The troubles of famous ‘YouTuber’ and winner of the reality show ‘Bigg Boss OTT-2’ Siddharth Yadav alias Elvish Yadav are not showing any signs of abating. Now the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case of money laundering against Elvish. Apart from Elvish, ED has also accused some other people in the case of using snake venom as drugs in parties.
The central agency has registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after taking cognizance of an FIR and charge sheet filed against Elvish and others linked to him by the Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) district police in Uttar Pradesh last month. Sources said that during the investigation, Yadav and some other people related to the case will be interrogated.
Noida Police had arrested Yadav on March 17 in connection with the investigation into the use of snake venom as an intoxicant at parties allegedly organized by Yadav.
Noida Police had registered a case against 26-year-old Elvish Yadav under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Wildlife Protection Act and Indian Penal Code (IPC). Yadav was among the six people named in the FIR lodged at Sector 49 police station in Noida on November 3 last year on the complaint of a representative of animal rights NGO ‘People for Animals’ (PFA).
