Maneka Gandhi said her NGO kept watch on Elvish Yadav as the influencer had been using snakes in his videos.
YouTuber Elvish Yadav who has been booked by
the Noida Police on Friday for using snake venom at rave parties issued a
statement denying all the charges and assuring cooperation with the UP Police.
BJP MP Maneka Gandhi whose NGO filed the complaint against the famous
influencer issued a statement and asked if Elvish Yadav was not guilty, then
why he was on the run."This is a grade 1 crime, seven years in jail, a
wildlife crime. King cobras die when their venom is taken out. Their venom is
for digesting food. Without the venom, they can't eat anything and thus they
die. There are very few cobras and pythons in the country. It is a crime to own
them, catch them or use them," Maneka Gandhi said to television channels.
There could be a bigger racket behind this, Maneka
Gandhi said.
Demanding Elvish Yadav's immediate arrest, Maneka Gandhi said
her NGO was keeping watch on Elvish Yadav for a long time as he used snakes in
his YouTube videos “Then we found out that they sell snake venom,” Maneka
Gandhi said.
On Elvish Yadav's statement that he is innocent, Maneka Gandhi
said, “That's why he is absconding?” “People do anything to remain in the
headlines,” Maneka Gandhi said.
"Snake venom leads to liver and kidney failure and then the
brain becomes dizzy. So you feel dizzy," Maneka Gandhi added.
Elvish Yadav said all allegations are absolutely baseless and
fake. In a statement, Elvish said, "I will take the responsibility if even
1% of my involvement in this is proved. Media should also stay away from
defaming me unless my involvement is probed." Reacting to Maneka Gandhi's
statement against him, Elvish tweeted, "Shocked to see such people sitting
on such posts. The way she is accusing me, she should be ready for apologising
as well."
How Elvish Yadav's name got dragged into rave party allegations
According to the complaint filed by People For Animals, the NGO
run by Maneka Gandhi contacted Elvish Yadav and asked him to organise a rave
party and get Cobra venom. "Elvish gave us the name of one Rahul whom we
contacted. He said he could organise the venom wherever we want. He then came
to Sector 51 Banquet hall with the Venom. The Noida police then came to the
venue along with the DFO and arrested the organisers," the complaint said.
The five people were arrested and they named Elvish Yadav.
