Bhau gang takes responsibility of the firing
Soon after the firing, a social media post appeared claiming responsibility. Featuring an image of two guns and the text “BHAU GANG SINCE 2020,” the post alleged that the attack was carried out by gangsters Himanshu Bhau and Neeraj Faridpuria, reportedly based overseas. The message accused Yadav of promoting illegal betting apps.
“Greetings to all. Today, a shooting took place at ELVISH YADAV’s house. It was carried out by NEERAJ FARIDPUR and BHAU RITOLIYA. Today we have made our presence known. He has destroyed a lot of homes by promoting illegal betting apps. It is a warning to all such insects on social media, like Elvish Yadav. Whoever promotes these apps, be aware, a call or a bullet could come at any time. Stay alert [sic],” the Instagram post read.
The same gang had earlier taken responsibility for a similar firing at the car of singer-rapper Rahul Fazilpura in July.

Elvish Yadav’s family on firing incident
Speaking to reporters, Yadav’s father said the family had received no prior warning. “We were sleeping when the attackers came on a motorcycle. One sat on the bike, while the other two stepped down and opened fire. They fired around 25–30 rounds and fled. Elvish did not receive any threats before the incident. He is currently out of the city for work,” he said.
Police have begun scrutinising CCTV footage from the neighbourhood and stated that legal proceedings are underway. A formal complaint is awaited before the probe moves forward.
