Elvish Yadav was arrested by Noida Police in connection with a probe into the suspected use of snake venom as a recreational drug at a party.
Youtuber Elvish Yadav was arrested on March 17 by Noida Police in connection with a probe into the suspected use of snake venom as a recreational drug at a party in Noida, officials said.
Yadav was among six people named in an FIR lodged at Sector 49 police station in Noida on November 3 last year. The five other accused were arrested but are currently out on bail, the officials said.
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.
The case was later shifted from Sector 49 to Sector 20 police station for investigation.
"The accused has been arrested by a team of Sector 20 police station which was investigating the case," Additional DCP (Noida) Manish Mishra told PTI.
Yadav, a winner of reality show Bigg Boss OTT, has refuted the charges of involvement in the case and has been questioned by the police in the past.
A sub-inspector, who was also the incharge of the local Sector 49 police station where the FIR was registered, was shunted.
The High Court of Karnataka noted that the issue involved in the PIL is of seminal importance and has far-reaching dimensions in the operation of constitutional law and the power of the legislature to legislate on the orders of the apex court that are the law of the land to be invariably obeyed by all, including legislative bodies.
Built in 1927 during the British era, this marketplace has been a hub of activity for decades, offering everything from fresh produce and flowers to meat, dry fruits and exotic spices. However, years of neglect, accidents and infrastructure wear and tear have taken a toll on this heritage structure. During the 2012 fire incident at the market, more than 170 out of 440 shops, and the general infrastructure of the market was destroyed. The shops were given a basic makeover then. Since then, only the exterior of the market has been renovated, leaving the interiors and the roof untouched for more than a decade.
