Gurugram’s glitz and glam took a shockingly dark turn this Sunday when the internet buzzed with news of a terrifying shooting outside the plush home of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav. By Friday, the saga took a Hollywood-worthy twist as Haryana’s Crime Branch captured the culprit after a nail-biting encounter in Faridabad, an arrest that has sent ripples through the Indian digital universe.
The incident unfolded in the early hours of last Sunday when three masked figures on motorcycles stormed the driveway of Yadav’s residence in Sector 57. They unleashed more than two dozen bullets into the ground and the first floor, a chilling act caught on CCTV. Miraculously, Yadav was away on work, and though caretakers were present inside, no one was harmed. Still, the message was unmistakable: someone had a dangerous warning to deliver.
As the news spiraled online, a shadowy gang known as the Bhau Gang, allegedly led by fugitive gangster Himanshu Bhau, claimed responsibility in a terrifying social media post. They accused Elvish of promoting illegal betting apps, blaming him for “ruining many homes,” and issued a menacing threat: “a call or a bullet could come at any time.”
Fast forward to Friday morning, and the city’s crime control made their move. In Faridabad’s Sector 30, the Crime Branch intercepted a suspect identified as Ishant alias Ishu Gandhi while he was riding a motorbike. He attempted to flee and even fired at the officers. In response, police shot him in the leg and arrested him on the spot. The wounded suspect was rushed to a hospital under police guard, marking a dramatic turn in the case.
This arrest is a huge breakthrough. Ishant, believed to be one of the attackers from that fateful morning, now opens a window into a larger, more violent world that lurks behind social media glamour.
While the media and fans hold their breath for more details and the suspect’s interrogation, Elvish has reassured his followers via Instagram that he and his family are safe. For now, the story remains a thrilling mix of celebrity, danger, and crime, reminding us how fast fame and fear can collide.
