They will also investigate the convoy of expensive cars owned by YouTuber Elvish Yadav, along with owners of big hotels, resorts, and farmhouses.

The charge sheet filed against Elvish Yadav and seven others in connection with the case described how snakes were smuggled and how their venom was used at parties. According to media reports, Noida Police has stated in the charge sheet that Elvish Yadav was in contact with snake handlers and a poisonous snake, and 20 ml of krait snake venom were recovered from the party venue.
