Overview
- Three masked attackers on motorcycles fired more than two dozen rounds at the YouTuber’s Sector 57 residence between 5:30 am and 6 am, damaging walls and windows but causing no injuries.
- Elvish Yadav was away on work when the shooting occurred and his caretaker and family members inside escaped unharmed; CCTV footage and his father’s account estimate roughly 25–30 bullets.
- Gurugram Police collected forensic evidence at the scene, began reviewing dozens of CCTV feeds and said they will file an FIR once the family formally registers a complaint.
- A social-media post attributed to the fugitive-led Bhau gang claimed responsibility over Yadav’s alleged promotion of illegal betting apps, though authorities have not verified the claim.
- Reporters note the attack follows recent targeted shootings in the area, including the July attack on singer Rahul Fazilpuria, and comes amid Yadav’s past legal controversies such as a 2023 snake-venom rave case and an ED money-laundering probe.
