“In the last few months, Elvish Fan Pages spread hate and propaganda, which caused me distress, leading me to seek counseling from an NGO. I was asked by Elvish Yadav to meet, but I assumed it was for a verbal discussion. However, when he arrived at the location with his 8-10 inebriated henchmen, they started assaulting me and using abusive language,” the FIR stated.

“Elvish Yadav attempted to break my spine, intending to render me physically disabled. All 8-10 individuals arrived at 12:30 AM, and on March 8, 2024, before leaving, Elvish Yadav threatened to kill me when I was nearly unconscious,” it added.
