Munawar Faruqui and Elvish Yadav have recently made headlines after their much-anticipated ECL 2024 match. Elvish, leading the Haryanvi Hunters, and Munawar, captaining the Mumbai Disruptors, faced off at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. The pre-game atmosphere was light-hearted, with the duo engaging in friendly banter. However, the mood quickly shifted when the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, Munawar, received death threats from some members of the crowd during the match.
Videos of the incident went viral on social media, capturing the tense moment. In response, event officials took immediate action by evacuating the stadium to prevent further escalation. To ensure the safety of everyone involved, entrances were sealed, and videos showing fans of Elvish Yadav leaving the venue began circulating online.
Despite the alarming incident, the match continued without spectators, with only management members allowed to stay in the stadium. While the event quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms, neither Elvish nor the event organizers have released an official statement about the threats.
According to a report from the Free Press Journal, the death threats against Elvish Yadav were tied to his rivalry with Munawar Faruqui during the match. Prior to the game, the two stars engaged in playful banter, with Munawar calling Elvish the “second runner-up.” In response, Elvish humorously remarked that his team was confident and ready to secure a win against Munawar’s squad. Munawar responded by saying, “Har system ko na update ki zarurat hoti hai. I think wo update de denge hum” (Every system needs to be updated, and today we will give them an update).
The pair had previously shown a friendly rapport earlier this year during the Indian Street Premiere League (ISPL), where they were seen warmly greeting and hugging each other.
For those unfamiliar, Elvish Yadav gained widespread recognition through his vlogs and comedic sketches. His victory in Bigg Boss OTT 2 boosted his popularity, but he soon found himself in legal trouble, facing interrogation from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding his involvement in the snake venom case.
As the story unfolds, fans continue to discuss the incident, eagerly awaiting further developments and an official response from those involved.
