Details about Rajpal Yadav's cheque bounce case
The aggrieved party in this case is a company by the name Murgli Project Private Limited, from whom the defendant in this case, actor Rajpal Yadav, borrowed money. The amount Yadav borrowed from this firm totaled 5 crores of rupees. In repayment of this loan, he had sent a series of cheques to Murgli Project Private Limited. However, these checks bounced. This case now goes back to 2010, when Rajpal Yadav directed a film by the name Aata Pata Lapata.
The High Court gave a conditional stay order on the arrest of Rajpal in 2024. He was asked to pay the money. Last year in December, the actor agreed to pay the money in installments, which he failed to do. Due to this, the Delhi High Court ordered him to be taken into custody at Tihar jail on February 2. However, the actor surrendered on February 4. Ever since then, the actor has been in jail.
