Fazilpuria made headlines in 2024 over snake venom case

Last year, Fazilpuria was in the news after the Lucknow unit of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) confiscated movable and immovable assets worth over ₹58 lakh belonging to him and YouTuber Elvish Yadav. The action was taken under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in connection with a snake venom case registered by Gautambuddhnagar police, according to senior ED officials in Lucknow.

At that time, a senior ED official confirmed that the confiscated properties included approximately three acres of land in Bijnor registered in Fazilpuria’s name, as well as bank accounts belonging to Elvish, Fazilpuria, and a private firm that produced their videos. The ED had questioned Fazilpuria twice since May 2024 but remained unsatisfied with his responses. He was questioned for several hours at the ED Lucknow office in July last year about the use of a snake in one of his popular songs.

The ED had registered a case under the PMLA related to a snake venom-rave party due to the large financial transactions involved in the racket in February 2024. Earlier, Fazilpuria was arrested on March 17 last year and placed in 14-day judicial custody. He was granted bail five days later.
