YouTuber Elvish Yadav was arrested by Noida Police in a snake poisoning case earlier this month.
Days after getting bail in the Noida snake venom case, Elvish Yadav made his first public appearance. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner was snapped by the paparazzi in Mumbai on Wednesday night. He was seen sporting a white shirt with blue jeans. The YouTuber did not react to the shutterbugs and was instead seen taking selfies with a couple of fans. A video of his appearance went viral on social media.
This marked Elvish’s first public appearance after getting out of jail in connection to the snake venom case. Yadav was arrested by Noida Police in a snake poisoning case earlier this month. The case was lodged under provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and for criminal conspiracy under section 120B of the Indian Penal Code, they said. A day after his arrest, NDTV claimed Elvish had admitted to his crimes. However, no official statement was released.
A week later, Yadav was granted bail, on a 50,000 bail bond. Talking about the same, his lawyer Prashant Rathi told the media, “Our arguments in this case was that he was falsely accused and no substance was obtained from him or his friends that violated the NDPS act. The court has granted bail to him (Elvish Yadav) as well as his two friends on two sureties of Rs 50,000 each.”
Later, Elvish also recalled the time he spent in jail and called it a “very bad phase of his life”. “The one week that went by, no doubt, was a very bad phase of life. What to talk about the time I was inside (jail). Let’s start a new chapter on a positive note. All those who supported me didn’t support me, talked badly or well about me, thanks to all. I can only thank everyone. I am back to my work,” he said in one of his vlogs.
