Police in Noida, India arrested YouTube star Elvish Yadav, winner of the Bigg Boss OTT reality TV show, for allegedly providing snake venom as a drug for ravers attending a party he organized. Earlier forensic reports confirmed that samples collected from the party, which took place at a banquet hall last November, contained snake venom.

The venom from certain snakes has been used historically as an opioid-like pain killer and there are studies on its recreational use as well.
