The Delhi Police on Monday arrested two shooters involved in the firing incident at the residence of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav in Gurugram’s Sector 57 on August 17.
The arrested shooters have been identified as Gaurav and Aditya, both linked to the notorious Himanshu Bhau gang, also known as the ‘Bhau gang’. According to officials, the duo was nabbed from the Shahabad Dairy area after a swift operation.
This comes after multiple arrests already made in connection with the case. Last week, police apprehended Jatin (24) from Faridabad’s Parvatiya Colony, who allegedly provided the motorcycle used in the crime. Jatin, who had been working as a rider for an app-based bike-taxi service, confessed during interrogation that he got involved after being influenced by companions.
Earlier, another accused Ishant Gandhi alias Ishu, a resident of Faridabad was arrested following a brief encounter near Faridpur.
The Incident
According to police, three assailants arrived on motorcycles and fired 25-30 rounds at Yadav’s residence before fleeing the spot. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. While Elvish was not at home during the attack, his family members and caretaker were present inside the building.
Sandeep Kumar, PRO of Gurugram Police, said, “Three masked miscreants opened fire outside the residence of YouTuber and Big Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav in Gurugram’s Sector 57. The incident took place at around 5:30 AM. More than a dozen rounds were fired. Elvish Yadav was not at his residence at the time of the firing.”
CCTV footage showed the shocking attack. In the video, two masked men fired at the 16-BHK mansion, hitting the gate, doors, windows, and even the upper floor balconies, while a third person waited on a motorcycle nearby.
Multiple vehicles including cars, trucks, and motorcycles passed by during the attack without stopping or intervening. One of the attackers is even seen climbing the gate to aim at the main entrance.
