Top YouTuber Elvish Yadav Gets Supreme Court Relief in Snake Venom Case
The Supreme Court on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, provided much-needed respite to popular YouTuber Elvish Yadav, staying all proceedings against him in a controversial snake venom case. Yadav had earlier challenged the chargesheet and subsequent criminal proceedings initiated against him.
The apex court issued notices to the Uttar Pradesh government and the complainant, seeking their response to Yadav’s plea. This effectively halts any further action against the influencer until the matter is heard again.
Yadav’s legal team argued convincingly before the court, highlighting the lack of substantial evidence directly linking him to the alleged offences. The absence of concrete proof formed the crux of their argument for the stay.
This development comes as a significant relief for Yadav and his millions of followers. The case had sparked considerable debate on social media and raised concerns about the potential misuse of legal processes against prominent online personalities. The Supreme Court’s intervention underscores the importance of due process and the need for robust evidence in criminal investigations, particularly in high-profile cases with significant public interest.
