Yadav and his family reside on the second and third floors of the building. According to police, the bullets struck both the ground and first floors of the property.
Elvish Yadav has made headlines for varied reasons over the years, a recent one being the alleged use of snake venom as a recreational drug at "rave" parties. He had been arrested by Noida Police in March last year in relation to this case.
In May, the Allahabad High Court reportedly rejected Elvish Yadav's petition challenging the chargesheet and subsequent criminal proceedings in connection with the snake venom case. The Supreme Court later granted an interim stay on legal proceedings.
