As per reports, the NCW issued a summons demanding his appearance on February 17, over his racist comments against Chum Darang.

He also ridiculed her involvement in the film Gangubai Kathiawadi, making inappropriate jokes.

Elvish said, "Karan Veer ko pakka COVID tha kyunki Chum kisko pasand aati hai bhai, itna taste kiska kharab hota hai!

Chum Darang strongly condemns Elvish Yadav's racist remark

Bigg Boss contestant took to her Instagram Stories and penned a long note, slamming the Youtuber for mocking her and disrespecting Sanjay Leela Bhansali for passing a comment on Gangubai Kathiawadi. She called for drawing boundaries between humour and hate.
"Disrespecting someone’s identity & name is not ‘fun.’ Mocking someone’s achievements is not ‘banter.’ It’s time we draw the line between humour and hate. What’s even more disappointing is that this wasn’t just about my ethnicity; my hard work and a film backed by a visionary like Sanjay Leela Bhansali was also disrespected," she wrote.

Chum also encouraged her fellow North-Easterners to speak out against racism, stressing that there should be no place for it. She reiterated that everyone deserves respect, dignity, and equality.
