Who Is Rao Inderjeet Yadav?
Rao Inderjeet Yadav is the owner and key controller of Gems Records Entertainment Pvt Ltd, popularly operating as Gems Tunes. Founded in 2006, the company functions as a video-on-demand platform producing and distributing regional songs in Haryanvi, Punjabi, and Hindi.
Yadav enjoys a lavish lifestyle and is active on social media, boasting over 15 lakh followers on Instagram. He often shares pictures with Bollywood celebrities, enhancing his public image.
However, behind the glamour, Yadav has been involved in serious criminal activities including murder, extortion, coercive loan settlements, fraud, cheating, illegal land grabbing, and violent offenses. According to the Enforcement Directorate, he “acted as a strongman and enforcer,” facilitating coercive settlement of high-value private loan transactions and financial disputes running into hundreds of crores.
During the investigation, authorities also discovered a website portal operated by Yadav for loan settlements between corporate houses and private financiers, indicating the scale of his operations.
Involvement in Murders and Criminal Acts
In December 2024, Yadav’s name surfaced in connection with the murder of financier Manjeet Dighal, for which a gang led by Himanshu Bhau claimed responsibility. Following this incident, Yadav fled India.
His name re-emerged in July 2025 in connection with a firing incident at the residence of singer Rahul Fazilpuria. The gangster and his associates had allegedly targeted Fazilpuria’s aide, Rohit Shaukeen, in Gurugram. A month later, Yadav’s name again appeared on social media following a firing incident at YouTuber Elvish Yadav’s residence.
Law Enforcement Actions
Authorities in India have been actively monitoring Yadav’s movements and activities due to his involvement in organized crime and financial crimes. The Dubai arrest comes as a significant development in India’s efforts to bring him to justice. Once extradited, he is expected to face multiple criminal charges in Indian courts.
Yadav’s arrest also highlights the growing intersection between social media fame and organized crime, with law enforcement agencies cautioning the public about glamorized images of criminals online.
