Five individuals, including four snake charmers, were taken into custody for allegedly providing venom for parties and events.During the raid, authorities confiscated nine snakes, among them cobras, as well as vials of venom. Forensic examinations confirmed traces of toxins from both cobra and krait species in the seized samples. The case gained momentum after a sting operation conducted by the NGO People For Animals, which played a central role in exposing the racket.On August 6, the Supreme Court issued a stay on lower court proceedings in the snake venom case involving Yadav. The order temporarily halted trial hearings while the matter undergoes further judicial review.Siddharth 'Elvish' Yadav has built his reputation as a content creator and singer, achieving wide recognition after winning Bigg Boss OTT 2.
