The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken significant action against controversial YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav, along with Punjabi singer Rahul Yadav, also known as Fazilpuria. Both persons' properties in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have been seized by the ED. Before that, the ED had questioned both Elvish Yadav and Fazilpuria in-depth and recorded their statements.
Allegations against Elvish Yadav about the delivery of snakes have sparked controversy and garnered media attention. Notably, the ED filed a money laundering case against him after he was previously detained by Noida police in relation to the illicit trade in snake venom.
The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner had already been called before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on many occasions about an alleged money laundering case involving the rave party event.
Recent reports state that Yadav was questioned by ED officials at the Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) headquarters again. The lengthy interrogation continued for many hours, and he was captured on camera leaving the Lucknow ED office.
According to sources cited by TOI, officials at the ED zonal office in Lucknow interrogated Elvish Yadav for about eight hours. The Enforcement Directorate last contacted the YouTuber in July 2024, stating he was involved in a money laundering investigation.
