Social Media Clash of Evlish Yadav and Maxtern and Real-life Consequences

Elvish and Munawar participated in the opening match of the Indian Street Premier League on March 7, alongside cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, and others. Elvish Yadav, known for his vocal support of Hindutva, faced criticism from his followers for associating with Munawar, who was arrested in 2021 for alleged “indecent” remarks about Hindu deities.
Amidst the controversy, Sagar Thakur took a jibe at Elvish Yadav, labeling him a “hypocrite” for being friendly with Munawar. Responding to one of Maxtern’s posts, Elvish Yadav remarked, “Bhai tu delhi hi rehta hai socha yad dila du” (Brother, let me remind you that you live in Delhi).
The situation intensified when Sagar Thakur shared a screenshot of his alleged chat with Elvish Yadav, arranging a meeting in Gurugram on March 8. Subsequently, a video emerged showing the altercation between Thakur and Yadav, resulting in legal action against him and his associates.
