Elvish Yadav, the winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, recently visited the Vaishno Devi temple in Jammu and Kashmir, accompanied by his close friend and casting director Raghav Sharma. This visit comes in the midst of controversy surrounding Elvish Yadav’s alleged involvement in a snake venom case.
In early November, raids were conducted in Noida Sector 49, leading to the recovery of five cobra snakes. Subsequent investigations revealed the rescue of nine other snakes and the presence of snake venom at the site. Elvish Yadav, along with five others, was charged based on a complaint from BJP MP Maneka Gandhi’s NGO, People for Animals (PFA). The charges accused him of providing snake venom at gatherings. Last week, Elvish Yadav underwent questioning in connection with the case.
Addressing the allegations, Elvish Yadav issued a video clarification on social media, dismissing the rumors as baseless and lacking evidence. He asserted that all the accusations against him are false, and he plans to file a defamation case against Maneka Gandhi.
Despite the controversy, Elvish Yadav has made headlines by entering Google’s Most Searched Person 2023 list. Securing the fifth spot, he has surpassed notable personalities like Sidharth Malhotra and David Beckham. The list is topped by Bollywood actress Kiara Advani, followed by Shubman Gill, Rachin Ravindra, and Mohammed Shami.
Elvish Yadav made history by becoming the first wildcard contestant to win Bigg Boss OTT 2 in August this year. Currently, he is participating in the reality show Temptation Island India.
