Controversies
• In March 2023, Elvish Yadav was trolled on social media after the circulation of a viral video showing two individuals stealing flower pots intended for a G20 meeting. Some people suggested that the vehicle used in the theft belonged to Elvish Yadav; however, Elvish Yadav denied these claims and expressed his intention to pursue legal action against those spreading such accusations. The allegations emerged when social media users noticed a vehicle with a matching number plate at one of Elvish Yadav’s events. Elvish Yadav clarified that Manmohan Yadav, the person arrested in connection with the flower theft, was not his family member.
• On 3 November 2023, the Uttar Pradesh police registered an FIR against Elvish Yadav and several others for their alleged involvement in organising rave parties in Delhi and nearby areas where snakes and venom were reportedly provided. Police officials had previously arrested five individuals in connection with this case. In an interview, police officials said that those individuals who were arrested earlier had mentioned that Elvish has often used snakes in his YouTube and Instagram videos. Later, the politician and animal activist Maneka Gandhi made similar claims in an interview, stating that her NGO had been monitoring Elvish Yadav as he used snakes in his videos. She also asserted that Elvish had gone into hiding after the Uttar Pradesh police filed a case against him. While claiming that she and her team laid a trap to capture Elvish, Maneka, in the interview, said,
We told him that we were partying, send your people. He first sent a few people to see if it was genuine and then sent 5 people to make a deal with the snake venom and snakes. He supplies in Gurgram and Noida. Elvish gave us the name of one Rahul whom we contacted. He said he could organise the venom wherever we want. He then came to Sector 51 Banquet Hall with the Venom. The Noida police then came to the venue along with the DFO and arrested the organisers.”
In response to these allegations, Elvish Yadav posted a video on social media to address the situation and denied any involvement in supplying snakes and their venom or organizing rave parties. He further said that he would take responsibility if any connection to the case were to be proved, even if it were a minor one. On 17 March 2024, he was arrested by the Noida police. During the investigation, he admitted to arranging snakes and snake venom at rave parties organised by him. On 22 March 2024, the court granted him bail in the snake venom case. On 10 July 2024, the ED summoned him to question him related to the snake venom case.
• Elvish sparked controversy by hitting a man at a restaurant in Jaipur, Rajasthan, on 11 February 2024. He later clarified that he acted in such a way because the man abused him. Elvish further stated he had no regrets about his actions.
• Elvish stirred a controversy when he was captured beating YouTuber Sagar Thakur aka Maxtern in March 2024; they had been engaging in fight on social media for months, and Elvish had contacted him to solve their conflict. Sagar, however, allegedly threatened Elvish and his family which made Elvish react. On 8 March, an FIR was registered against Elvish and others under IPC sections 147 (riots), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (causing hurt), and 506 (criminal intimidation) at Sector 53 Police Station in Gurugram, Haryana.
Note: Ahead of the finale of Bigg Boss OTT 2, a video went viral on social media in which Elvish Yadav can be seen remembering his late elder brother who died in a road accident in 2001. While talking to Pooja Bhatt and Manisha Rani, when asked if there was a time machine what he would do with it, Elvish said that he would have saved his brother. He said,
“Main change karta, 2001 me jaake. Mere brother ki death hui thi, New Year pe. Time machine hota toh main change karta aur unko bolta mat jao. Jinhone naam diya, wahi nahi hai.”
