Elvish Yadav's Video With Snakes Goes Viral, Singer Fazilpuria Claims 'It Was Shot...'

Elvish Yadav has been ruling headlines ever since his name cropped up in the Noida Snake Venom Case. Days after the YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner was quizzed by Noida police in connection to the case, his video with snakes around his neck went viral on social media. However, singer Fazilpuria has now claimed that the viral clip is from one of his album shoots.

“The reason why my name has come up is because of the viral video in which Elvish is seen with a snake around his neck. Maybe the police asked him about this and he might have told them that it was from Fazil Bhai’s album shoot,” Fazilpuria told India Today recently.

“Actually, I had released a video two days ago, in which I had said that this video is from my album shooting. This has nothing to do with any rave party. Along with Elvish, many other singers from Haryana were also included in this video. It was shot in my village, Fazilpur in Gurgaon. There was a building there in which the entire set was installed. The song, ’32 Bore’ was released six months ago,” the singer added.

Fazilpuria further claimed that it was the first time that he used snakes in a video and claimed, “The production people keep the snakes with them. Many times these are needed between shoots. In my song, there are helicopters, there are horses…a lot of things were required, and snake was also an important part. I got them outsourced from a special production house.”

This comes a day after India Today reported that during his interrogation, Elvish claimed that snakes to the alleged rave party in Noida were supplied by singer Fazilpuria.

An FIR was filed against Elvish recently after his name came up in a rave party where snakes and venom was found. Later, politician and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi accused the YouTuber of supplying snake venom to rave parties in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Elvish was stopped at a checkpost in Rajasthan’s Kota in connection to the case recently but was released later. He was also questioned on November 7 in connection to the case.

Last week, Elvish issued a video clarification and claimed that all allegations against him are baseless and devoid of proof. “Maine subah utha aur dekha kaise kaise news phail rahi hai mere khilaaf media mein. Jitne arop mere upar lage hai sab bebuniyad hai, fake hai aur ek percent bhi mein sachhai hai nehi hai,” he said and further revealed that he would file a defamation case against Maneka Gandhi.
