Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has stepped forward to clarify that his administration has no say in the investigation. The remarks came following the registration of an FIR against prominent YouTuber Elvish Yadav and five others for their alleged involvement in a venom smuggling racket at a Noida party. Chief Minister Khattar previously appeared alongside Elvish Yadav at a fan meet.
Amid rising public ire, CM Khattar has now stressed the impartiality of the police probe. He had been under scrutiny on social media platforms after the YouTuber was felicitated by him following Elvish's stint in the reality show Bigg Boss OTT-season 2. Critics questioned why sporting heroes from Haryana were not accorded similar accolades.
"The police will take action in the case. We don't have any say in this. If he (Elvish Yadav) is at fault, then he will be punished," ANI quoted Khattar as saying.
The YouTuber responded to the allegations through a video. He firmly refuted any involvement in illegal activities, expressing his readiness to face the full force of the law if any connection to the case was established. “When I woke up, I saw the FIR in which it was written that Maneka Gandhi's NGO (People for Animals) had filed this case.
That lady was saying that I roam around with snakes around my neck. All that was for the shooting of a song and nothing else," Elvish said.
