Overview

  • Early on August 17, three masked men on a motorcycle fired multiple rounds at the YouTuber’s Sector 57 residence, with police reporting no injuries as Yadav was away.
  • Authorities said more than a dozen shots were fired, while Yadav’s father estimated 25–30, and CCTV shows two shooters opening fire as a third waited with the bike.
  • Investigators collected forensic evidence, reviewed nearby video and said an FIR would be registered based on the family’s complaint.
  • An Instagram post naming Neeraj Faridpuria and Bhau Ritoliya claimed responsibility and cited illegal betting apps as the motive, though outlets could not verify the post’s authenticity.
  • On August 18, Yadav told followers that he and his family were safe and thanked well‑wishers as the police probe to identify the attackers continued.
