The Supreme Court on Wednesday (August 6, 2025) stayed proceedings in the trial court against YouTuber Elvish Yadav in the snake venom case.
A Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Joymalya Bagchi issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh government and the complainant Gaurav Gupta on the plea filed by Mr. Yadav challenging the chargesheet and criminal proceedings against him in the case.

The top court was hearing an appeal filed by Mr. Yadav against an order of the Allahabad High Court which dismissed his plea. The chargesheet alleges consumption of snake venom as a recreational drug at "rave" parties by people, including foreigners.
Mr. Yadav was arrested in March last year by Noida police in connection with the case.
