Elvish Yadav snake venom case takes a new turn as the Supreme Court puts a temporary stop on all legal proceedings against him. This brings short-term relief to the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, who is facing serious charges linked to a rave party involving banned drugs and snake venom.
A bench headed by Justices MM Sundresh and Joymalya Bagchi issued notices to the Uttar Pradesh government and the complainant, asking them to respond to Elvish’s plea. The top court has clubbed his petition with a similar case and scheduled the next hearing for August 29, 2025. Until then, the trial court cannot take any further action.
Supreme Court has ordered an interim stay in legal proceedings against Elvish Yadav who was booked for his alleged involvement in a rave party where snake venom and other illegal drugs were supplied and consumed.

About Elvish Yadav Snake Venom Case
The controversy dates back to March 17, 2024, when Elvish Yadav was arrested by Noida Police. He was accused of arranging snake venom for a rave party in Noida. Though he was initially sent to 14 days’ judicial custody, he walked out on bail within five days.
Later, the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police filed a detailed 1,200-page chargesheet under the Wildlife Protection Act. It is named Elvish and seven others, claiming that snakes were smuggled and their venom used as a party drug. This chargesheet came in April, six months after the initial FIR was filed.
In May, the Allahabad High Court refused to quash the charges against him, saying the case involved facts that should be explored during the trial. The court also highlighted that Yadav hadn’t contested the original FIR (only the chargesheet), which weakened his legal stand.
Elvish’s Side Of The Story
Yadav’s legal team questioned the very foundation of the case. They argued that the complainant was not officially certified under the Wildlife Protection Act at the time of filing the complaint. They also pointed out that no snakes, venom, or drugs were recovered from Elvish directly and that no solid link was found between him and the other accused.
The prosecution insisted that Elvish supplied the snakes for the party. They claimed that several attendees were caught consuming venom and other banned substances. The High Court also made it clear that celebrity status doesn’t make one immune from the law.
With the Supreme Court’s interim stay, Elvish has managed to delay the legal pressure. But this is not the end of the road.
