Gurugram woke up to shock and fear after YouTube star Elvish Yadav’s sprawling Sector 56 mansion became the epicenter of a terrifying shootout. In the dead of night, three bike-borne assailants allegedly opened fire, over 20 rounds, directly outside the influencer’s luxurious residence.
Police teams rushed to the spot as chaos spread across the neighborhood, with locals describing the incident as “straight out of a gang war film.” Miraculously, no injuries were reported, but the brazen attack has left both fans and security agencies rattled.
Adding fuel to the fire, the notorious Bhau gang has now claimed responsibility for the gun attack. In chilling social media posts and videos doing the rounds, the gang members bragged about orchestrating the shooting as a message to Elvish and his associates. Sources reveal this could be connected to simmering rivalries and clashes over influence, power, and money in Haryana’s booming social media and music circuit.
Elvish Yadav, who boasts millions of subscribers on YouTube and is known for his flashy lifestyle, has been in the headlines multiple times, from winning Bigg Boss OTT 2 to flaunting his multimillionaire empire that includes an ₹18-crore Gurugram mansion and luxe Dubai duplex. But fame, it seems, has also made him a target.
Police have launched an intensive investigation, combing CCTV footage and questioning suspects linked to local gangs. “We are not ruling out gang rivalry or extortion angles,” a senior officer said, while also hinting at possible threats Elvish had received in the past.
Fans, meanwhile, are in disbelief. Social media has exploded with hashtags like #StayStrongElvish and #BhauGang, as supporters demand safety for their star. “This is not just an attack on Elvish, it’s an attack on youth icons who worked hard to make a name,” one fan tweeted.
For now, Elvish has chosen silence, but insiders say the YouTuber is “deeply shaken” and has beefed up personal security. As the Bhau gang proudly takes ownership of the attack, the burning question remains: was this a warning shot, or just the beginning of something darker?
With Bollywood-style drama unfolding in real life, Gurugram cops are racing against time to ensure the next chapter of this gangland saga doesn’t turn bloodier.
