In February, it was reported that Elvish might land in legal trouble as the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) had found the presence of snake venom in the samples seized at the rave party.
However, the YouTuber had vehemently denied the accusations, and had even stated that he would strip and dance on camera if he was proven guilty in the case. He had also slammed the police for levelling false allegations against him and had stated that he was in Mumbai when the rave party was raided in Noida.
“Elvish Yadav kaha tha rave party mein? Police ne toh nahi batayi. Normal aadmi pe jhootha case lagate hai aur phir paise maangte hai usse case vapas lene ke liye. Ye prove kar ke dikha do ki main vaha tha aur meri rave party thi, nanga hokar naachunga main,” he had said in a video.
