Elvish Yadav, the YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT season 2 winner, hours after an FIR was lodged against him, has clarified for allegedly thrashing YouTuber Maxtern (Sagar Thakur), that he was outraged as Thakur was prodding him for months and finally threatened to burn Elvish’s parents alive, reported Hindustan Times.
Elvish, earlier known as Siddharth Yadav, hails from Gurugram’s Wazirabad. Later, he apologised for thrashing Maxtern saying he gets furious easily but in real life, he is a calm person.
“I don’t like to thrash people and get embroiled in FIRs, controversies. Maxtern now says I am so influential that I got all bailable charges in the FIR. Had I been that influential, I could have stopped the FIR then. But Maxtern came to Gurugram and filed an FIR against me. I would like to apologize to all those who think my image got hurt but at that moment it felt right,” said Elvish quoted in Hindustan Times.

Is the controversy over Elvish Yadav?
Elvish said he went to a clothes shop where Maxtern called him and carried no weapon. “Maxtern had everything planned. There was a camera hidden and he also had the microphone on. If you see the video, you can hear the sound of thrashing. So he planned everything and knew how to use it. People are saying Maxtern was alone and I went with 10-12 people. But the truth is he had 4 people with him and the people with me were not there to beat up. But they were stopping me.”
“I want to ask everyone how will you react if someone threatens your family, your mother…After the fight, I reached out to him to solve it. I called him home but he did not come. The next day, he filed an FIR and then questioned why 307 (attempt to murder) was not imposed on me. The Left lobby which has always been against me because I speak about Hindutva is supporting the call,” Elvish said.
Maxtern’s complaint
Maxtern, a Delhi-based YouTuber who makes educational videos, in his complaint has said that Elvish Yadav tried to break his spine and threatened to kill him. In response, Elvish Yadav said, “Spine can’t be broken like that. Yes, I threatened him but it was in a fit of rage. I could also file an FIR against him but I did not do that.”
FIR registered
An FIR was lodged against Yadav and others under sections 147 (riots), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (causing hurt), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC at Sector 53 Police Station on Friday evening, police said.
