Elvish Yadav, the popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, finds himself facing ongoing legal troubles as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) intensifies its investigation into a money laundering case linked to a rave party incident. Yadav was recently summoned for interrogation by the ED at its Lucknow headquarters, where he spent hours answering questions related to the case.
According to recent reports, Elvish Yadav was questioned for approximately eight hours by ED officials at the zonal office in Lucknow. The interrogation is connected to the alleged generation of illicit funds, which were reportedly used for organizing rave or recreational parties. A video of Yadav exiting the ED office has also surfaced, adding to the growing media attention surrounding the case.
During this latest round of questioning, ED officials focused on gathering information about Yadav’s contacts, properties, bank accounts, and other assets. Additionally, media reports suggest that the authorities seized his mobile phone to scrutinize photos, videos, and chat conversations as part of the investigation.
This is not the first time Yadav has been summoned by the ED. He was previously called in July 2024 for questioning related to the same money laundering case. The ongoing investigation has raised concerns about Yadav’s alleged involvement in generating proceeds from criminal activities.
Elvish Yadav’s legal challenges began earlier this year when he was arrested in March 2024, only to be granted bail five days later by a local court. The case against Yadav falls under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), with allegations tied to his involvement in rave parties.
For those unfamiliar with the case, Yadav was charged under several serious sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Wildlife Protection Act, and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) by the Noida Police. An FIR was lodged against Yadav and five others in November 2023, accusing them of supplying snake venom at a rave party in Noida.
The alleged rave party incident has been the focal point of the investigation, with authorities exploring the possibility of illegal funds being used for the event. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner’s connection to the rave party and subsequent money laundering claims have kept the case in the media spotlight, as further details emerge.
As the investigation continues, more developments are expected in the coming weeks. The seizure of Yadav’s mobile phone and the extensive questioning could potentially lead to further insights into his alleged involvement in the case. Fans and media alike are closely watching as the legal proceedings unfold.
With charges under the NDPS Act, Wildlife Protection Act, and IPC, the case against Yadav remains complex, and the authorities are leaving no stone unturned in their investigation. As of now, Yadav’s fate remains uncertain, but the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner continues to fight the allegations against him.
