Rajpal Yadav surrenders in Rs 9 crores cheque-bounce case: After Sonu Sood, music producer, Kamaal R Khan, and Tej Pratap Yadav offer financial aid Actor Rajpal Yadav, known for his comic roles in Hindi cinema, has surrendered at Delhi’s Tihar Jail in connection with a decade-old cheque-bounce case involving nearly Rs 9 crores. Following his surrender, several members of the film industry and political figures have publicly offered financial assistance to help the actor address his legal and monetary troubles. According to PTI, the matter dates back to 2010 when Rajpal Yadav borrowed Rs 5 crores from M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to finance his directorial venture Ata Pata Laapata. The film failed at the box office, resulting in significant losses. Over the years, accumulated interest, penalties and delays reportedly increased the outstanding amount to approximately Rs 9 crores. In an attempt to clear the dues, Yadav issued multiple cheques to the lender. However, these were dishonoured, leading to criminal proceedings under the Negotiable Instruments Act. On February 2, 2026, the Delhi High Court directed the actor to surrender before jail authorities by 4 pm on February 4, observing that his conduct deserved to be deprecated due to repeated breaches of undertakings. On February 5, 2026, Rajpal Yadav appeared physically before the court. His counsel informed the court that he was ready to submit a demand draft of Rs 25 lakhs and adhere to a fresh payment schedule.
