Elvish Yadav, who gained fame as the winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, has been threatened with extortion amounting to ₹10 crore by Randeep Malik, who claims to be affiliated with the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The threat was communicated through a WhatsApp message, warning Yadav to pay the sum within two days or face violence. Yadav reported this incident to the police, leading to the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) at the Sector 56 police station in Gurugram, Haryana, India. The investigation has been handed over to the Crime Branch, which is working to trace the origin of the threatening call. Yadav's family also received a similar threat, heightening their concerns for safety. This incident follows a history of threats against Yadav, including a shooting incident outside his residence last August, where gunmen fired multiple rounds. Additionally, Yadav was previously arrested in March 2024 for allegedly supplying snake venom for rave parties, but the Supreme Court later dismissed the charges.
