In a major breakthrough, Faridabad Crime Branch (Sector 30) has arrested the man involved in the firing outside YouTuber Elvish Yadav’s house in Gurugram. The accused was caught after an encounter, during which he was shot in the leg and later admitted to the hospital for treatment.

The Crime Branch is currently investigating the motive and any possible links to organised crime.
YouTuber and actor Elvish Yadav ruled headlines just a few days back when his house in Gurugram came under gunfire in the early hours of August 17. Police officials confirmed that unidentified assailants fired multiple rounds outside his residence in Sector 57.
Sandeep Kumar, PRO of Gurugram Police, shared details of the attack and said, “Three masked miscreants opened fire outside the residence of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav in Gurugram’s Sector 57. The incident took place at around 5:30 AM. More than a dozen rounds were fired. Elvish Yadav was not at his residence at the time of the firing."
Elvish’s father, Ram Avtar Yadav, also confirmed the incident to ANI and shared, “We heard a sound around 5.30 in the morning. When we came outside and looked, we saw that bullets had been fired here. Then we immediately checked the CCTV. We found that there were two people involved for sure, and probably a third one too. We informed the police. These people fired more than 15 rounds."
He also revealed that Elvish was not at home when the tragic incident took place. “May God give wisdom to the people who did this. Naturally, we feel scared," he said.
The notorious Himanshu Bhau gang has taken responsibility for the attack via an alleged Instagram post, accusing the YouTuber of promoting gambling.
After the shocking incident, Elvish shared a note on his Instagram stories, reassuring fans that both he and his family are “safe". His note read, “I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for your good wishes. My family and I are safe and well. Your kind thoughts and concern are truly appreciated. Thank you."
