Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav finds himself in trouble again. His ongoing legal battle related to alleged possession of snake venom has taken a nasty turn with reports of a possible money laundering investigation by India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Elvish Yadav troubles began in March 2024 when he was arrested by the Noida Police on charges of supplying snake venom for recreational use at rave parties. The issue heated up due to Yadav’s link to wildlife products in his social media video.
While initial reports suggest that Yadav has denied involvement, others claim that he has confessed to receiving snake venom. The matter escalated further when an old video surfaced in which Yadav was discussing various medicines, leading to speculations about possible links to the current situation.
Elvish Yadav YouTube Success
- Started his YouTube channel in 2016 under the name “The Social Factory.”
- Renamed it to “Elvish Yadav” and found success creating flash fiction and conceptual short films.
- Launched other channels like “Elvish Yadav Vlogs” for daily vlogs and “Elvish Yadav Gaming” for gaming content. As of May 2024, his main channel boasts over 15 million subscribers and 1.37 billion views, showcasing his significant online reach.
Deeper than Snake Venom?
The recent news of ED’s involvement indicates a new dimension in the case. Money laundering, the illegal process of concealing the source of funds derived from criminal activities, is a serious crime in India. If the ED finds evidence linking Yadav’s finances to the snake venom case, it could significantly strengthen the prosecution’s arguments.

In an interesting turn of events, some news outlets reported that despite his legal troubles, Yadav has recently purchased a new Mercedes G-Wagon. Although the source of funds for this expensive purchase is unclear, it has sparked further discussion about Yadav’s financial condition.
Overall, Elvish Yadav’s career has been marked by both success and controversy. His legal troubles related to snake venom have significantly impacted his public image.
