In a significant turn of events, popular YouTuber Elvish Yadav has been granted bail by the Noida court after spending five days in police custody in connection with the snake venom case. The decision brings a sense of relief to Yadav and his family, who vehemently asserted his innocence amidst the legal turmoil.
Following a delay due to a lawyers’ strike, Elvish Yadav’s bail plea was finally heard and approved by the court this afternoon. Reports suggest that the YouTuber will be released later in the evening once the necessary paperwork and legal formalities are completed.
Confirming the bail grant, Elvish Yadav’s lawyer, Prashant Rathi, elucidated that his client secured bail based on two sureties worth rupees 50,000 each. Rathi emphasized the argument presented in court, asserting Elvish’s innocence and highlighting the lack of evidence linking him to the allegations under the NDPS Act.

The case stemmed from a raid on a rave party conducted on November 3rd, 2023, following a tip-off. Suspicions surrounding Elvish Yadav’s involvement in the supply of snake venom arose, prompted by his social media posts featuring snakes. However, Yadav refuted any association with the case, attributing the presence of the snake to a video shoot organized by singer Fazilpuria.
Authorities seized nine snakes and their venom from the rave party, signaling the use of snake venom for intoxication purposes. Amidst extensive interrogation, Elvish maintained his innocence, pledging full cooperation with law enforcement.
The emotional turmoil surrounding Elvish Yadav’s arrest was palpable, as evidenced by his parents’ impassioned defense of their son’s character. Viral videos depicting his parents’ distress prompted an outpouring of support from celebrities and fans alike, underscoring the widespread belief in his innocence.
