Big Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav has been arrested by police from Kota, Rajasthan, according to News24 report. BJP MP Maneka Gandhi has accused “Bigg Boss” OTT winner Elvish Yadav of being involved in illegally selling snake venom and sought his immediate arrest.
Elvish Yadav had allegedly tried to escape by breaking the barricade. However, he was caught from Ramganj Suket area of Kota Rural, the News24 report added. The report also mentioned that Elvish Yadav’s car has been seized by Kota Police.
On Friday, the Noida Police had booked Yadav and arrested five people for the alleged use of snake venom at rave parties.
Nine snakes, including cobras, were rescued from the possession of the arrested accused who came to a banquet hall in Sector 51 on Thursday for a party, which was a trap laid by animal rights group People for Animals (PFA).
Police seized 20 milliliters of snake venom stored in a plastic bottle from the possession of the accused. The seized venom has been sent for testing to ascertain if it is psychotropic in nature to induce a party drug-like effect in the human body.
