A Gautam Buddh Nagar court granted bail to controversial YouTuber Siddharth Yadav alias Elvish Yadav in a drugs case on Friday, six days after he was lodged in a jail here, his lawyers said.
The jail authorities said they have received Yadav’s release order but he would be handed over on Saturday to the custody of a court in Haryana’s Gurugram, where he is to be produced in an assault case involving content creator Sagar Thakur alias Maxtern.
The hearing in the Gurguram court is scheduled for March 27.
Yadav was arrested on March 17 by the Noida Police in connection with its probe into suspected use of snake venom as a recreational drug in parties he hosted.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Jaihind Kumar Singh also granted bail to two of the YouTuber’s associates Ishwar and Vinay Yadav who were arrested on Thursday, advocate Prashant Rathi said.
“The court has granted bail to Yadav, who will have to furnish two bail bonds of Rs 50,000 each,” the lawyer who represented the YouTuber in the court along with advocate Deepak Bhati, said.
The controversial 26-year-old YouTuber, also the winner of reality show Bigg Boss OTT 2, has been booked under provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Wildlife Protection Act and Indian Penal Code (IPC), police said.
