Elvish Yadav was served a notice by the Noida Police, naming him as an accused in the FIR, and asking him to participate in the investigation. Elvish arrived at the police station after midnight and left around 2 am. Police have indicated that he will be summoned again.

The unusual case unfolded with the arrest of five individuals on November 3 at a banquet hall in Sector 51, along with nine snakes, including five cobras, and 20 ml of suspected snake venom.

The complainants claimed they had received the contact information for these individuals from Elvish Yadav. However, Elvish was not present at the event and denied all allegations regarding the use of snake venom at such gatherings.
