Elvish Yadav and Fazilpuria's assets under ED investigation, properties seized

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has linked the assets of controversial YouTuber Elvish Yadav and musician Fazilpuria in an extensive crackdown on alleged financial misconduct. Their properties, located in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, have come under scrutiny as part of a broader investigation into money laundering activities tied to rave parties.

Yadav, a well-known figure from Bigg Boss OTT 2, has faced legal troubles previously, including a detention by Noida police for his involvement in the illegal trade of snake venom. Following this incident, the ED initiated a probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), focusing on Yadav's financial dealings and connections to various events.

Reports indicate that Yadav has been summoned multiple times for questioning, with his latest appearance at the ED headquarters in Lucknow lasting nearly eight hours. During this extensive interview, ED officials reportedly delved into Yadav's financial history, examining his assets, bank accounts, and other valuables. Investigators even seized his phone to scrutinize photos, videos, and messages that may shed light on his financial activities.

The allegations against Yadav suggest that he may have generated criminal proceeds through illicit means, particularly linked to organizing rave events. Despite his legal challenges, Yadav was granted bail shortly after his arrest in March 2024. This ongoing investigation highlights the ED's commitment to tackling money laundering and ensuring accountability in the entertainment industry.
