The Enforcement Directorate has seized the assets of controversial YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav and Punjabi singer Rahul Yadav, also known as Fazilpuria. The properties in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana were seized after investigations. The ED had earlier recorded two persons and questioned them at length. Elvish Yadav has been accused of involvement in illegal snake supply.

Elvish Yadav background

Noida police had earlier arrested Elvish Yadav in connection with the illegal trade in snake venom. After his arrest, the ED filed a money laundering case against him. He faced charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Wildlife Protection Act and several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Yadav has always denied the charges, saying they are baseless. Police later dropped the NDPS charges against him, admitting that they filed them in error.
