The 26-year-old YouTuber, Elvish Yadav, has admitted to the use of snake venom for recreational purposes at an alleged rave party in Noida. Why is snake venom used for intoxication? Experts say it induces symptoms that could have effects on the nervous system and other psychological processes
Elvish Yadav, the 26-year-old YouTube, who was arrested by the Noida Police and sent to judicial custody on Sunday in connection with the snake venom case, has reportedly confessed to the crime. This comes a month after samples were collected from a rave party in Noida last year, which confirmed use of venom of Cobra and Krait snake species as drugs.
Five people who were arrested last year after the police busted the snake smuggling racket in Noida Sector 51 told the police that used to supply snake venom at rave parties organised by Yadav. The case was registered under provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act and the Indian Penal Code.
Let us first look at the case.
‘People for Animals’ NGO by Maneka Gandhi filed a complaint against Yadav and five others for allegedly providing snake venom at a party in Noida. They conducted a sting operation in which they asked Yadav to organise a rave party and get Cobra venom.
On November 2, Yadav along with five others, including snake charmers, were arrested under the Wildlife (Protection) Act and Section 120A (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC for providing snake venom for recreational use.
The police recovered snakes from the possession of the five arrested accused — Rahul, Titunath, Jayakaran, Narayan, and Ravinath.
