Elvish Yadav appeared at the ED office in Lucknow today. The YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner is being questioned about a money laundering case. As per reports, he is likely to be asked about money from YouTube India and other transactions. The investigation, led by CVO officers, will look into all details. About two weeks ago, Yadav was summoned by the ED for the snake venom case, which involves a huge sum of money. The ED has filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
As he made his way to the office, he was mobbed by the press who asked him to respond to the charges. Elvish dodged the questions and said that the matter is sub-judice and he wouldn’t want to talk about it. He said he will only know more about it once he speaks to the ED officials. “Jo unhone maanga tha, woh maine submit kiya hai ab woh batayenge. Main baar baar ek cheez repeat nahi kar sakta,” he said to the press, as per videos circulating on X. He also said that he has only been summoned once. He added, “Apne dekha nahi tha, main UK mein tha. Ek baar hee bulaye hai.”

In March this year, Elvish Yadav was arrested by Noida Police in a snake poisoning case. The case was lodged under provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and for criminal conspiracy under section 120B of the Indian Penal Code, they said. A day after his arrest, NDTV claimed Elvish had admitted to his crimes. However, no official statement was released.
A week later, Yadav was granted bail, on a 50,000 bail bond. Last week, he appeared on Bigg Boss OTT 3 to support his friend, Lovekesh Kataria, who is a contestant on the controversial show this year.
