ED Cracks Down on YouTuber Elvish Yadav, Singer Fazilpuria; Assets Linked in Money Laundering Probe

In a significant move, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has linked the assets of controversial YouTuber Elvish Yadav and singer Fazilpuria in connection with an ongoing money laundering investigation. The properties, located in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, have been identified as part of a broader crackdown by the financial probe agency.

Both Yadav and Fazilpuria were previously interrogated by the ED, with their statements recorded as part of the investigation. This development follows the arrest of Elvish Yadav by Noida police in connection with the illegal trade of snake venom. The ED subsequently registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to further probe the financial aspects of the alleged illegal activities.

The case has brought renewed attention to the operations of high-profile social media influencers and celebrities under scrutiny for their financial dealings. Further actions by the ED are expected as the investigation progresses.
