New Delhi. The Enforcement Directorate has seized property while taking major action against YouTuber Elvish Yadav and some others under the money laundering case. Official sources gave this information to news agency PTI on Thursday.
Officials said a provisional order has been issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Elvish Yadav has been questioned by the ED in a case related to suspected use of snake venom for entertainment at parties and financial transactions.

Case was registered in May
The central agency had registered a case in May and filed charges under the PMLA after taking cognizance of an FIR and chargesheet filed against him and people associated with him by the Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida) district police in Uttar Pradesh. Rahul Yadav alias Rahul Fazilpuriya, a singer from Haryana, who allegedly has links with Elvish Yadav, was also questioned by the ED in the said case.

The alleged use of crime proceeds for organizing raves or entertaining parties is under the ED's scanner. Elvish Yadav was arrested by the Noida Police on March 17 in connection with the investigation into the suspected use of snake venom for entertainment at parties that were allegedly organized by him.

NGO had filed a complaint
The controversial YouTuber, who is also the winner of the reality show Bigg Boss OTT 2, was booked by the Noida Police under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Wildlife Protection Act and various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Yadav was among six people named in the FIR lodged at Sector 49 police station in Noida on November 3 last year on the complaint of a representative of People for Animals (PFA), an animal rights NGO. Five other accused, all snake charmers, were arrested in November and later granted bail by a local court.
