Elvish Yadav CLARIFIES After Video of Him Beating YouTuber Maxtern Goes Viral: ‘Murder Karne Gaya?’ – News18

Elvish Yadav, Bigg Boss OTT winner, has issued a clarification after a video of him beating YouTuber Sagar Thakur aka Maxtern went viral. He has shared a video on his X handle in which he is seen explaining the whole matter. Reportedly, Elvish has been booked for allegedly assaulting the YouTuber in a shopping mall.

Elvish said that the incident was “pre-planned” as the complainant, Sagar Thakur had installed hidden microphones and cameras at the place of their meeting. The video starts with Elvish saying that it is important to listen to the “other side of the story” and urges people to watch the video till the end. He said Thakur has been harassing him for the past eight months by sharing negative posts about him. He has also mentioned that Thakur threatened to burn me and my family alive which led to heated arguments.

Talking about the viral video, Elvish can be seen accompanied by his aides as he approaches Thakur. At first, Elvish slaps and kicks Sagar before he starts to beat him up brutally. The video comes a day after Maxtern took to his official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle and accused Elvish Yadav of threatening to kill him. “Bhaisaab, jaan se maarne ki dhamki de gaye hain. Main toh akela tha. Elvish bhai saath mein bahut saare bande laaye the. Toh iske main full video subah daaltu hu acche se. Sab dekhna kya hua. Hamare pass bhi recording hai. Main toh theek hu bas yahan (lip) par chot aaye hai. Yeh bhi 8 logo se ladne ke baad aaye hai,” he claimed.

Thakur also filed an FIR against Yadav and claimed “he tried to break my spine so that I will become physically disabled.” “I was asked by Elvish Yadav to meet but I thought it was about verbal discussion. When he came to the store, he and his 8-10 goons, who were drunk started beating me and started using abusive language (sic),” he added.

Meanwhile, this comes months after an FIR was filed against the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner after his name came up in a rave party where snakes and venom were allegedly found. Politician and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi accused the YouTuber of supplying snake venom to rave parties in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Elvish was also questioned on November 7, 2023, in connection to the case. However, he later issued a video statement and claimed that all allegations against him were baseless and devoid of proof.
