Bullets sprayed at Elvish Yadav's house, Bhau gang claims responsibility 

Unidentified assailants opened fire outside the residence of controversial YouTuber and Bigg Boss winner Elvish Yadav in Gurugram on early Sunday morning.

According to police, the incident took place between 5.30 and 6 am today, when three bike-borne men sprayed more than two dozen rounds at Yadav's home in Sector 57 before fleeing the spot. The bullets struck the ground and the first floors of the house.

Yadav, who lives on the second and third floors, was not at home at the time. His caretaker and some family members were inside when the attack occurred, but no injuries were reported.

"Three masked miscreants opened fire outside the residence of Elvish Yadav in Gurugram's Sector 57. More than a dozen rounds were fired. Elvish Yadav was not at his residence at the time of the firing," Sandeep Kumar, PRO Gurugram Police, said.

Police officers rushed to the scene, collected forensic evidence, and began scanning CCTV footage from the area. Officials confirmed that legal action is being initiated, and further investigation will follow once a formal complaint from the family is recorded. According to Yadav's father, he had not received any threats prior to the incident. The YouTuber is currently outside Haryana.

A post on social media claimed that two gangsters based abroad, Himanshu Bhau and Neeraj Faridpuria, carried out the firing at Yadav's residence. The post, which features a two-gun image and the text "BHAU GANG SINCE 2020", stated that the YouTuber's house was attacked as he has been promoting illegal betting apps.

"Today, the firing at ELVISH YADAV's house was carried out by NEERAJ FARIDPUR and BHAU RITOLIYA. This is our introduction. Anyone promoting betting should be warned—calls or bullets can come their way [sic]," the post read.

Elvish Yadav, 27, shot to fame as a YouTuber before winning Bigg Boss OTT 2 in 2023. He enjoys a massive fan following online and has also appeared in music videos and films.

However, Elvish Yadav is no stranger to controversies. Last year, he was arrested by Noida Police in a case involving the alleged use of snake venom at rave parties. Police claimed that the cobra venom was being supplied as a recreational drug, with Yadav facilitating the arrangements. He was later granted bail but continues to face charges in the case.
