ED summons Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav in PMLA case

Elvish Yadav, popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, has landed in trouble again as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued fresh summons on Wednesday. Elvish has been asked to appear in the Lucknow office on September 5, 2024, in connection with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case. The social media influencer has been asked to appear for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the suspected use of snake venom as a recreational drug in parties he hosted and related financial transactions. He was also summoned by the



central agency in the month of July.

ED registered a case against Elvish in May under PMLA, taking cognisance of an FIR and charge sheet filed by the Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) district police in Uttar Pradesh against him and other linked individuals.

The Noida Police detained Elvish in March this year after an investigation and was accused of holding parties where snake venom was purportedly utilised. The charges against Elvish were not only for drug usage but also for trafficking in protected species.
