Hours after over two dozen bullets were fired at YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 fame Elvish Yadav's residence in Gurugram, the 'Bhau Gang' claimed responsibility for the attack. Members of the gang said that Elvish was attacked as he promoted betting apps and "destroyed lives", and warned that whoever is found promoting such apps next will be shot.
An Instagram post by one Bhau Ritolia has now gone viral. The handle shared a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, with a stamp reading, "Bhau Gang Since 2020". "Jai Bhole Ki! 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 (sic)," the statement in Hindi read.
It further stated, "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)."
FPJ could not independently verify the authenticity of the post.
It is to be noted that last month, a member of this same Bhau Gang claimed responsibility for the attack on singer Rahul Fazilpuria, who happens to be a close friend of Elvish. In July, unknown men opened fire at Fazilpuria's car and fled the scene.
Elvish Yadav house firing
Around 5:30 am on Sunday morning, three masked assailants opened fire at Elvish's 16 BHK mansion in Gurugram's Sector 56 while his family members were sleeping inside.
Elvish's father said that the family woke up to the sound of gunshots and around 25-30 bullets were fired. Visuals also showed the doors and walls ridden with bullets and one bullet even shattered a glass pane of the newly-constructed house.
Elvish was not at his residence at the time of the attack.
