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.

Rajpal Yadav before surrendering to Tihar Jail authorities, “There’s no other way out, there are no friends” Prolific legendary comedian Rajpal Yadav, who has given us decades of laughter, has gone to prison for a cheque bounce case of a meagre Rs 2. 5 crores. Rajpal surrendered to the Tihar Jail authorities in Delhi on Thursday after the Delhi High Court refused to grant him any relief in his cheque-bounce case. The actor had sought an extension of the deadline for his surrender. The request was declined. When this writer asked the truly kind and generous Rajpal about his predicament, he sadly said, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain (sir, what to do? I don’t have the money to pay back). Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta (can’t see another way out). ”When this writer asked him why he didn’t ask his super-rich friends –like Priyadarshan who has worked with Rajpal in dozens of films and earns over Rs. 20 crores per film—Rajpal said, “Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain (sir, we are all on our own over here). There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own. ”Also Read: Rajpal Yadav to surrender at Tihar Jail after Delhi HC rejects extension in cheque bounce case... #High_Court #Tihar_Jail #Prolific_legendary #Jail_authorities #Rajpal_Yadav #Jail #Sir #Rajpal #Tihar #legendary_comedian
Rajpal Yadav to surrender at Tihar Jail after Delhi HC rejects extension in cheque bounce case The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav’s last attempt to postpone his surrender in a long-running cheque bounce case, prompting the actor to say he will report to jail authorities later in the day to begin serving his sentence. Yadav, who was present in court, had sought additional time to address the outstanding payments owed to the complainant, Murli Projects Private Limited, but the bench, led by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, refused to grant any further extensions. The court said it would hear him only after he surrendered to the jail authorities, noting that Yadav had previously been directed to surrender on Wednesday but failed to do so. Senior advocate Abhijat, appearing for Yadav, informed the court that a payment of Rs 25 lakhs would be made on the same day and that a tentative repayment schedule had been agreed between the parties. However, the bench declined to consider the plea, emphasising that previous leniency had already been extended and that Yadav had not fulfilled assurances given to the court. The actor’s sentence stems from a May 2024 conviction in a cheque bounce case, in which a sessions court sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment; the High Court later suspended the sentence on an assurance that Yadav would pursue a settlement with the complainant. That arrangement ultimately failed, with Yadav missing various deadlines ... #Delhi #High_Court #Delhi_High #Yadav #Tihar_Jail #Rajpal_Yadav #Thursday_dismissed #dismissed_Bollywood #Bollywood_actor #actor_Rajpal
