NEW DELHI: In a recent development, the Noida Police has transferred the case related to YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav’s alleged involvement in snake venom and an illegal rave party from the Sector 49 Police Station to the Sector 20 Police Station. The decision came on the orders of the Noida Police Commissioner.
This information was exclusively reported by The New Indian, making it the first news outlet to bring this update to the public’s attention.
As of now, the suspected snake venom recovered in the case has not been sent to any laboratory for testing. It is currently under scrutiny, and there is a likelihood that it will be forwarded to a laboratory based in Lucknow for a comprehensive examination.
