LUCKNOW: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a money laundering case against YouTuber Siddharth Yadav alias Elvish Yadav and some others under the charge of suspected use of snake venom as a recreational drug in parties he hosted, official sources said Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ED has pressed charges under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after taking cognisance of a FIR and charge sheet filed against him and others linked to him by the Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) police in Uttar Pradesh last month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The alleged generation of proceeds from crime and the use of illicit funds for organising rave or recreational parties are under the scanner of the ED. Yadav and others linked to the case will be questioned as part of the investigation, the sources said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Noida police arrested 26-year-old Yadav, who is also the winner of reality show ‘Bigg Boss OTT 2’, on March 17 in connection with their probe into the suspected use of snake venom as a recreational drug in parties allegedly hosted by him. He was booked under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the Wildlife Protection Act, and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) by the Noida police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The YouTuber was among the six people named in an FIR lodged at Sector 49 police station in Noida on November 3 last year as per a complaint by a representative of animal rights NGO ‘People for Animals’ (PFA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five other accused, all snake charmers, were arrested in November and were later released on bail by a local court, sources added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
