CCTV Captures Three Bike-Borne Attackers Who Sprayed Bullets At Elvish Yadav's House
A CCTV footage, accessed by CNN-News18, showed three bike-borne gunmen who fired over two dozen shots at YouTuber and Big Boss winner Elvish Yadav's house in Gurugram on Sunday.
The masked miscreants sprayed bullets at the YouTuber's home in Sector 57 and fled away from the spot, prompting the Gurugram cops to launch a probe.
Yadav was not at home when the incident happened around 5.30 am. However, his father and a caretaker were inside, but no one was injured in the attack, police said.
Police rushed to the site after receiving information about the firing and collected forensic samples while examining CCTV footage from the area.
A senior officer confirmed that an FIR will be filed once the family submits a formal complaint.
Initial reports indicate that the shots were aimed at the ground and first floors of the house, whereas Elvish Yadav resides on the upper floors.
Family members said the YouTuber had not received any threats before the incident and is presently outside Haryana.
Himanshu Bhau Gang Claims Attack
A social media post has surfaced claiming responsibility for the firing outside the YouTuber's Gurugram home early Sunday morning.
The post alleged that fugitive gangsters Himanshu Bhau and Neeraj Faridpuria, said to be operating from abroad, were behind the attack.
The Instagram message, accompanied by an image of two guns and the caption 'BHAU GANG SINCE 2020", linked the incident to Yadav's alleged promotion of illegal betting applications.
Himanshu Bhau, reportedly based in Portugal, is believed to lead the gang.
'Greetings to all. Today, a shooting took place at ELVISH YADAV's house. It was carried out by NEERAJ FARIDPUR and BHAU RITOLIYA. Today we have made our presence known. He has destroyed a lot of homes by promoting illegal betting apps. It is a warning to all such insects on social media, like Elvish Yadav. Whoever promotes these apps, be aware, a call or a bullet could come at any time. Stay alert [sic]," the post read.
However, CNN-News18 could not independently verify the authenticity of the claim.
