In the video, Yadav can be seen entering a room and heading straight towards Maxtern and before he could do anything, the former began punching and kicking him, and the other men too joined him.
Elvish and his gang can be seen throwing Maxtern on the floor and abusing him, while also continuously throwing punches and slaps at him. Maxtern can be seen saving himself from the assault however Yadav and his men can be seen overpowering him and continuing the assault on him.
Maxtern Alleges Police Under Influence
Soon after the fight video went viral, Maxtern came up with another video criticising the Haryana police for not booking Elvish Yadav under non-bailable offences. "When I went to the police station to file an FIR, the SHO lodged it under IPC 147, 149, 323, and 506. Unfortunately, these are bailable sections, and despite clear evidence of an attempt to murder, no non-bailable charges were included," said Maxtern in his latest video post alleging the Haryana police is under someone's influence.
All About The Controversy
In an earlier video, Maxtern had also claimed that Elvish had threatened to kill him. It all began after Maxtern targetted Elvish for his bond with Munawar Faruqui. Maxtern called him a 'hypocrite' for claiming to be a staunch Hindu and a devotee of Lord Ram, but at the same time being friends with the comedian, who had come under the public scanner for his objectionable jokes on Lord Ram and Sita.
