Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav narrowly escaped a major attack after unidentified gunmen opened fire outside his residence in Gurugram&rsquo;s Sector 57 early Sunday morning.
The incident occurred between 5.30 and 6 am, when three bike-borne assailants sprayed more than two dozen rounds at the property. The bullets struck the ground and the first floors of the house, while Yadav&rsquo;s family members and caretaker were inside. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Yadav, who stays on the upper floors, was not at home at the time.
CCTV footage is being scanned, and forensic evidence has been collected from the scene. Police have launched a probe and said legal action will be taken after a formal complaint from the family. Yadav&rsquo;s father stated that no threats were received before the attack.
Eyewitness accounts suggest two of the masked men got off the bike to open fire, while the third waited in the vehicle. Around 25&ndash;30 rounds were fired before the attackers fled.
Elvish Yadav, 27, rose to fame through his YouTube content and later won Bigg Boss OTT 2 in 2023. He enjoys a massive online following and has also appeared in music videos and films. However, he has faced controversies in the past, including a 2023 arrest in a high-profile case involving the alleged use of snake venom at rave parties. He was later granted bail but continues to face legal scrutiny.
This attack has once again thrust the social media star into headlines, raising concerns about his safety and the motives behind the firing.
