The India===Supreme Court of India quashed criminal proceedings against YouTuber and reality show winner Elvish Yadav in a case involving the alleged use of snake venom at rave parties. The court cited legal flaws, specifically noting that the substance recovered was not covered under the NDPS Act's schedule and that the complaint under the Wildlife Protection Act was not filed by an authorized officer. This decision overturns an earlier India===Allahabad High Court ruling and provides significant relief to Elvish Yadav, who had been arrested and faced charges under various acts. The Supreme Court, however, granted liberty to competent authorities to initiate new proceedings with a proper complaint.
