Elvish Yadav’s snake venom case has taken a new turn. Almost two days after the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner’s arrest, the alleged motive behind Elvish supplying the snake venom at rave parties has been revealed. Police sources have told a publication that while money was one of the motives, Elvish allegedly supplied the snake venom to ‘increase his fan base’ and to apparently show that he’s ‘got swag.’ The YouTuber has been sent to 14-day judicial custody by a local court.

The new report also contradicts the claims made by a police source on Monday alleging that Elvish has confessed to his crimes. A police source told The Indian Express, “During questioning, Yadav did not accept the crime… but we have a lot of evidence. For him, it was to make a statement that he’s got ‘swag’ or ‘bhaukaal’. He wanted to paint a picture among his fans as someone who is completely unafraid of law-enforcement agencies and can do whatever he wishes.”

The police sources also claim that they have identified snake venom being used in over six parties and all of them are linked with Elvish. “Those who attended the parties in question are being identified; appropriate action will be taken against them for using the snake venom,” an officer said.

Elvish was arrested on Sunday in Noida, months after his name popped up in the case.
