Earlier, Elvish, in a personalised YouTube video on Saturday denied charges against him saying that he is ready to surrender if found to be involved in the matter.
“When I woke up I saw the FIR in which it was written that there was Maneka Gandhi’s NGO (People for Animals) who has filed this case. That lady was saying that I roam around with snakes around my neck. All that was for the shooting of a song and nothing else. I will not spoil the name of myself and my family by indulging in all these illegal activities. If I have even one per cent involvement in this case, I will surrender myself, whether the punishment is 10 years or 100 years. Everyone knows that my level has not fallen so low that I will do these kinds of work,” Elvish said.
