NEW DELHI: The Gurugram Police is preparing to obtain a production warrant for Elvish Yadav, accused of assaulting content creator Sagar Thakur, also known as Maxtern, in a mall. A senior officer mentioned that the police would file a petition in the Ghaziabad court to secure the accused on a production warrant and effect his arrest. Additionally, those present during the assault will also face arrest once the police gather information about them.
Elvish Yadav was served a notice to appear in the assault case on Monday but has not yet responded to the Gurugram Police, despite being apprehended by the Noida Police. Thakur approached the police and complained to Yadav and others at the Sector 53 Police Station after a video surfaced of Yadav allegedly assaulting him on March 8. Despite receiving two notices from the Gurugram Police to cooperate in the investigation, Yadav did not comply. He initially claimed in an online video that the incident was pre-planned by Thakur but later apologized and expressed solidarity with him.
