Elvish Yadav
Popular Youtuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav has once again made news for his hot-headed behaviour. A viral video sees him slap a man at a restaurant in Jaipur. After the small clip showing Elvish slapping a man in a fit of rage went viral, Elvish released a video offering clarification.
In the viral video, Elvish along with his team is seen walking out of the restaurant. He suddenly stopped and goes back only to slap a man seated at the table near the exit. In the clarification audio clip, the YouTuber claimed that the man had made derogatory comments about him. He said, "Bhai, dekho, matter ye hai, naa mujhe shauk hai ladai karne ka, naa mere ko haath uthane ka shauk hai. Main apne kaam se kaam rakhta hoon. Main chalta hoon normal. Aur jo photo khichwane ko kehta hai, hum kichwate hai aaram se photo. Par, jo koi piche se comment pass karta hai, usko nahi bakshte (I am not interested in fighting nor slapping someone. I click photos with whoever asks but if you make a personal remark, I don't spare them either)."
He added, "As you can see, there were police and commandos with us. It is not that we've done anything wrong. Yeh mera personal tha. Usne mereko personally bola, maine personally jaake sade ke de diya. Aur mujhe koi uss baat ka gum bhi nahi hi ki bhai mujhe regret ho. Aisa hi hun main (This was personal. He took a personal dig at me, I personally went and slapped him. I don't have any regrets. I am like this only)."

This is not the first time that the content creator has made news for controversial reasons. A couple of months back, he was named in an FIR in a case related to the supply and use of snake venom at a rave party in Noida. The Noida police filed an FIR against Elvish following a raid on a banquet hall where snakes and venom were discovered. He was questioned by the Noida police for several hours based on a complaint filed by the People For Animals (PFA) organization.
Back then he took to his social media handle to claim that the accusations against him are 'baseless'. Elvish took to Instagram, where he shared his statement in Hindi, "I woke up to news that Elvish Yadav has been arrested. Elvish Yadav has been caught with drugs etc. These things that are being spread against me. All these accusations against me are baseless. These are all fake. There is not even a single percent of truth in it. I am willing to cooperate with the UP Police."
