Following a Gurugram court order, Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav and singer Rahul Yadav, known as Fazilpuria, have found themselves embroiled in additional legal trouble with the district police registering a case against them for allegedly featuring rare species of snakes in their music videos.

This development stems from a complaint filed by Saurabh Gupta of People for Animals (PFA), who accused the duo of using snakes without proper permissions and thereby violating animal welfare laws.

Earlier on Thursday, the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Manoj Kumar Rana had ordered a case against Yadav and Fazilpuria.

The case has been registered against the duo under various sections including the Cruelty to Animals Act, and Section 294 of the IPC at the Badshahpur police station.

"Based on the court order, a case was registered against Elvish Yadav and Rahul Yadav on Saturday. However, both of them have not been arrested. Further proceedings are underway," Satish Deshwal, station house officer (SHO) of Badshahpur police station told a news agency.

Meanwhile, the next hearing into the matter has been fixed for April 10. On this date, the Badshahpur Police Station team will submit the compliance report in this case to the court.

A complaint filed by Gupta, People for Animals (PFA) member, in November last year demanded that an FIR be registered against Elvish Yadav and Rahul Yadav, alias Fazilpuria, alleging that they had illegally used rare species of snakes in their music videos.

He alleged that they had not obtained permission from the Animal Welfare Board, the district administration, or the Forest Department to shoot the videos.

Gupta had also filed an application with the court, stating that he has been receiving threats from wildlife smuggling gangs.
