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.
Current Status: Legal Troubles (February 2026)
As of early February 2026, Rajpal Yadav is currently serving a six-month sentence at Tihar Jail.
The Case: The legal battle stems from a loan of ₹5 crore taken in 2010 from a Delhi-based company to fund his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata. Due to unpaid interest and penalties, the debt ballooned to nearly ₹9 crore.
Surrender: On 5 February 2026, he surrendered after the Delhi High Court rejected his plea for more time, citing repeated breaches of payment undertakings.
Latest Development: On 12 February 2026, the court adjourned his bail hearing to Monday, 16 February 2026, noting that he had failed to honour previous commitments. His legal team recently claimed that ₹2.5 crore of the disputed amount has been paid.
Industry Support: Several Bollywood figures, including Salman Khan, Sonu Sood, and Ajay Devgn, have reportedly extended financial and moral support during this period.
