New Delhi: A Gautam Buddh Nagar court has granted bail to Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner and popular YouTuber Elvish Yadav, in snake venom case, his lawyer confirmed to PTI on Friday.
Yadav, a well-known YouTuber, was arrested by the Noida Police on Sunday as part of an investigation into the alleged use of snake venoms as recreational drugs at parties he hosted.
Advocate Prashant Rathi told PTI, "The court heard the bail application and granted bail in the case. He will have to furnish two bail bonds of Rs 50,000 each which would be submitted in the court."
However, Yadav's release from the Luksar Jail in Greater Noida, where he has been held since March 17, might not be immediate. Advocate Deepak Bhati, another legal representative for Yadav, told PTI, "We have initiated legal proceedings. We would apply for provisional acceptance of the bail bonds so that release order is issued at the earliest. It may be issued tonight or may take a few days, considering court will be closed for Holi holidays from tomorrow."
The 26-year-old YouTuber is facing charges under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the Wildlife Protection Act, and the Indian Penal Code.
Yadav reportedly confessed to authorities that he arranged snakes and snake venom at rave parties he organised. He also admitted during interrogation that he was acquainted with the other individuals arrested for supplying snake venom last year.
Elvish's parents on his 'innocence'
In an earlier conversation with ABP News, Elvish’s parents Ram Avtar Yadav and Sushma Yadav had called their son innocent and said that their son is being unfairly targeted due to his rapid rise to fame at a young age.
Elvish's father Avatar Yadav stated that he visited his son after his arrest, and the winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2 categorically denied any involvement in the alleged supply of snake venom at rave parties. He vehemently dismissed all accusations against his son as "false" and "unfounded."
He also said, "Main ek teacher hoon. Main bachchon ko padhata hun, kya maine apne bachche ko nahi padhaya hoga? Mujhe apni parvarish par garv hai aur main har janam me uska pita banna chahunga. ( I am a teacher. I have taught children. Wouldn't I impart the right teachings to my own son? I am proud of my upbringing and trust my child. I would want to be his father in every life.)"
