Money laundering case
This matter came to light when Noida Police arrested Elvish Yadav in the case of illegal purchase and sale of snake venom. After this arrest, ED started investigating this case in the direction of money laundering. It is alleged that the money obtained from this illegal trade was invested through illegal means, due to which ED has taken this strict action.
attachment of properties
The value of the properties seized by ED is said to be in crores of rupees. Along with this, some bank accounts have also been sealed. These properties are mainly located in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, where the shares of both the celebrities have been found. The investigation of the case is currently underway, and officials say that more revelations may be made in the coming days.
Status of case registered against Elvish Yadav
Elvish Yadav was booked by the Noida police under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Wildlife Protection Act and Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, Elvish had called these charges baseless and fake. The police later dropped the NDPS charges, saying it was due to an error.
