A social media post claimed that gangsters Himanshu Bhau and Neeraj Faridpuria, reportedly based abroad, carried out the early Sunday morning firing outside the Gurugram residence of controversial YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav.
The post, featuring a two-gun graphic and the text “BHAU GANG SINCE 2020”, linked the attack to Elvish Yadav’s promotion of illegal betting apps.
“Greetings to all. 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. 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],” the post read.
India Today TV, however, could not independently verify the authenticity of the post.
Earlier in the day, Gurugram Police confirmed that three masked men on motorcycles opened fire outside Yadav’s home in Sector 57 around 5.30 am, discharging over two dozen rounds.
The bullets hit the ground and the first floor. Yadav, who lives on the second and third floors, was away at the time. No injuries were reported.
