Three bike-borne unidentified men allegedly fired multiple rounds outside YouTuber Elvish Yadav's Gurugram residence on Sunday morning.
The incident took place between 5:30 and 6am, according to the police. No injuries were reported.
The Bigg Boss 2023 winner, who resides on the second floor of the building, was not in Gurugram at the time of the incident. The firing was targeted at the floors below his flat, according to a police officer.
'Our family was present at home when the firing incident happened. I was asleep when it occurred. Around 25–30 rounds were fired. In the CCTV footage, three miscreants can be seen, out of which two are clearly visible,' Elvish Yadav's father, Ram Avtar Yadav, said.

HHRC takes suo motu cognisance of employee declared dead in Aadhaar records
Chandigarh, Aug 18 (PTI) The Haryana Human Rights Commission has taken suo motu cognisance of a news report alleging that a Public Health Department employee was denied salary as his Aadhaar record wrongly showed him as 'deceased." The report — published in a leading daily on August 12 — said Vijay Kumar, a resident of Valmiki Basti, Ramlila Parao in Rohtak, is alive and continues to perform his duties regularly. He has been reportedly deprived of his lawful remuneration due to the administrative lapse, it said. Upon review, the commission observed that the health department failed to update the employee's record on the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited portal, despite being aware that the 'deceased" status in Aadhaar was erroneous. The full bench of the commission, comprising Chairperson Justice Lalit Batra and Members Kuldip Jain and Deep Bhatia, in its order dated August 14, noted that such treatment appears contrary to Article 7 of the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), which recognises the right to just and favourable conditions of work, including remuneration ensuring a decent living for workers and their families. The commission further noted that non-payment of wages for work performed constitutes a violation of the employee's human rights, particularly the right to livelihood and dignity as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India and reaffirmed in international human rights instruments. The department's inaction amounts to an arbitrary deprivation of earnings, impairing the complainant's ability to support himself and his family. Reflecting on the situation, the commission recalled a sentiment from Shakespeare's famous play Julius Caesar. 'The Commission is reminded of the well-known sentiment from Shakespeare's play namely Julius Caesar, wherein it is suggested that the dead may, at times, wield greater influence than the living. The present matter, however, reflects a grim inversion of that idea – a person who is unquestionably alive and faithfully performing his duties has, for official purposes, been treated as deceased. This erroneous classification has not only deprived him of his lawful remuneration but has also inflicted indigity and avoidable hardship," the commission observed. To disregard the service of a living employee in such a manner is an administrative failing that the Commission cannot overlook, reads the order. As per the order, the commission finds prima facie evidence of administrative negligence and violation of the complainant's rights. 'The department's own records declare the complainant 'deceased', yet his daily presence at the workplace and faithful discharge of duties bear living testimony to the contrary. This striking contradiction of acknowledging his work but denying him his wages underscores the urgency of immediate action to restore his salary, correct all records and ensure that no employee is ever again placed in such an anomalous and unjust position," the order states. The commission has called for a report on the necessary corrections to the Aadhaar record of the complainant from the Additional Deputy Commissioner, Rohtak, and the Commissioner and Secretary, Citizen Resources Information Department (CRID), Government of Haryana, before the next hearing. The HHRC has directed the engineer-in-chief, Public Health Engineering Department, Haryana, Panchkula; the Superintending Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department, Circle Rohtak; and Sandeep Kumar, Executive Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department, Rohtak, to submit a detailed report within four weeks. The officials have been asked to cover: Steps taken to correct the complainant's status in all official records, including Aadhaar; measures to ensure immediate disbursement of all pending salary dues; and departmental accountability for the delay and the hardships caused. The matter has been listed for hearing on September 23.

Bengaluru's illegal buildings make up 70%, says DK Shivakumar after fire kills 5 in Nagarathpete
A day after five people lost their lives in a devastating fire in Nagarathpete, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar visited the site and directed officials from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to launch a city-wide audit of structurally unsafe and illegally built buildings. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar was visibly shaken after inspecting the gutted building.(PTI) Shivakumar, visibly shaken after inspecting the gutted building, said the incident highlighted the dangers of unregulated construction in densely populated areas. (Also Read: Bengaluru's Hebbal flyover loop finally opens, may cut traffic by 30%; DK Shivakumar makes stylish entry) According to a report by The Hindu, the Deputy CM has instructed BBMP to identify buildings constructed unscientifically or those that have grown structurally weak over time. Notices will be served to such property owners, and a detailed survey will follow. While ruling out immediate demolitions, he emphasized that action was inevitable. Shivakumar expressed concern over builders who have flouted zoning laws. 'Structures meant for two or three floors now have eight or ten. Many of them are unfit for human habitation,' he noted according to the publication. (Also Read: Bengaluru fire tragedy: Building owner arrested after accident kills 5) Highlighting the scale of the problem, Shivakumar said nearly 70% of buildings in Bengaluru are technically illegal, the report further added. In newly developed BDA layouts, he added, many constructions have exceeded the permitted limits. While dismissing any immediate plans for large-scale demolitions, Shivakumar said that property owners would be asked to carry out structural repairs without delay. 'If they fail, the government will step in. In the future, permissions for such reckless construction will not be granted,' he warned. The state government has approved ₹5 lakh compensation for the families of each of the five people who died in the Nagarathpete fire.
