What happened in the snake venom case?
For the unversed, on November 3 last year, the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner and five others were booked under the Wildlife Protection Act (WPA) and Section 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code at Sector 49 police station for allegedly supplying snake venom to party revelers in Noida, allegedly for recreational use.
Nine snakes — five cobras, one python, two sand snakes, and one rat snake — protected under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and a 20ml tube of snake venom were recovered from the possession of the five suspects at the time of the arrests.
The police also added charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act to the existing FIR following a forensic report that 20ml liquid, recovered from the five arrested suspects, was venom from a krait.
In March, Elvish Yadav was arrested by the Noida police in connection with the case and was later sent to 14-day judicial custody. Currently, he is out on bail. During the questioning, Elvish admitted to arranging and supplying snake venom to the party. But his legal team stated that he was called in for questioning as a witness, was illegally detained, and then arrested.
