ED interviewed Elvish Yadav about laundering cash for 7 hours!

He had been called in by the ED to its Lucknow office to be questioned over the money laundering case about the snake venom/rave party issue.

According to senior ED officials, YouTuber Elvish Yadav was questioned for almost seven hours on Tuesday by officials from the Lucknow unit of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding his alleged connections to snake charmers and other individuals who allegedly gave him access to snakes and snake venom as well as related financial transactions.

He had been called to the ED’s Lucknow headquarters to be questioned over the money laundering case linked to the snake venom/rave party case that the Gautam Buddh Nagar district police had filed against him.

Given the substantial sum of money involved in the scam, the ED filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering (PMLA) Act about the snake venom incident in May of this year.

Yadav was previously detained for 14 days in judicial prison after his arrest on March 17. Five days later, though, a municipal court granted him bail. Yadav visited the Lucknow office on Tuesday and was questioned for more than seven hours, according to a top ED official.

He claimed that after gathering further information regarding snake charmers and other people, the ED authorities would likely interrogate him again because they were not pleased with his responses. He claimed that on July 8, many hours were spent questioning Rahul Yadav, a musician from Haryana and close friend of Elvish Yadav known as Fazilpuriya, at the ED Lucknow office.

He said Fazilpuriya was questioned about the use of the snake in one of his popular songs. Besides, Elvish Yadav’s other aides Ishwar Yadav and Vinay Yadav were also questioned in the matter in the past.

On April 6, the Gautam Buddh Nagar police filed a 1,200-page chargesheet under the Wildlife Conservation Act against Yadav and seven others in connection with the case, almost six months after the FIR was registered. The charge sheet describes how snakes were smuggled and how their venom was used at the parties.

While Yadav had refuted the charges against him as “baseless and fake”, police later dropped charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act against him, stating that it was a “mistake” on their part.
