Why is Elvish Yadav in Jail?
After being questioned by the Noida Police, Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav was taken into custody in connection with the snake venom rave party issue. Mr. Yadav is currently being held in judicial detention for 14 days.
He and five other people were charged under the Wildlife Act in Noida for arranging the sale of snake venom to rave attendees to be utilized as a recreational drug last year.

How the Venom-Rave Snake Party Gang Was Dismantled
Headed by BJP leader Maneka Gandhi, the animal welfare group People For Animals (PFA) launched a concerted campaign to address the illicit activities related to snake venom and its consumption in rave events.
After viewing Elvish Yadav’s snake-themed videos, PFA decided to look into this more. Under pretenses, they contacted Elvish Yadav and asked him to send snakes and their venom. It is believed that Elvish made this possible by giving the contact information of a person by the name of Rahul.
PFA was referred to a banquet hall in Noida’s sector 51 after contacting Rahul. There, they found four snake charmers together with 9 snakes, including five cobras. Furthermore, 20 ml of snake poison was recovered during the raid.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, PFA worked with the authorities to secure the safety and justice of the snake venom-rave party group by capturing and prosecuting them.
Is there any solid proof against Yadav?
Even after being questioned several times, Elvish firmly denied being involved in the alleged misconduct. However, the evidence used against him resulted in his detention and 14 days of judicial incarceration.
