SC stays criminal trial against YouTuber Elvish Yadav in snake venom rave party case

New Delhi, Aug 6 (UNI) The Supreme Court today stayed the criminal trial against YouTuber Elvish Yadav (also known as Siddharth) in a high-profile case alleging his involvement in organising rave parties where foreigners were invited and snake venom was allegedly used as a recreational drug.
A Bench comprising Justice MM Sundresh and Justice NK Singh also issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh Government, seeking its response on Yadav’s petition challenging the criminal proceedings initiated against him under the Wildlife (Protection) Act and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Yadav’s counsel contended that the charges under the NDPS Act were not applicable, arguing that the invocation of such stringent provisions was aimed at sensationalizing the matter due to Yadav’s status as a social media “influencer” and a public figure who appears on reality shows.
