Fresh security concerns for Elvish Yadav

The shooting has once again raised questions about Yadav’s security. The YouTuber, who frequently makes headlines for both his popularity and controversies, is now at the centre of an intensified police investigation.

Earlier, the Supreme Court has put an interim halt on legal proceedings against YouTuber Elvish Yadav in the alleged rave party case, where snake venom and other banned substances were reportedly supplied and consumed.

A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and Joymalya Bagchi has also sought responses from the Uttar Pradesh government and complainant Gaurav Gupta on Yadav’s plea. Yadav had moved the apex court seeking to quash both the chargesheet filed against him and the summons issued in the matter.
