Rajpal Yadav Cheque Bounce Case: Actor To Hold Press Conference As He Gets Interim Bail Today

Actor Rajpal Yadav has obtained interim bail from the Delhi High Court in the ₹9 crore cheque bounce case, bringing short-term relief after days in Tihar Jail. The court allowed release after a ₹1.5 crore deposit, and the interim bail will remain effective till March 18.

Rajpal Yadav is expected to speak publicly about the ongoing dispute within the next few days. A press conference is planned, where details of the legal battle, the financial dispute, and future steps are likely to be addressed for the media and fans.

Rajpal Yadav interim bail cheque bounce case: How the financial dispute began

The conflict dates back to 2010, when Rajpal Yadav borrowed ₹5 crore from Delhi-based Murali Projects Pvt Ltd. The amount was taken to fund Rajpal Yadav’s directorial project Ata Pata Laapata. The film failed commercially, the loan stayed unpaid, and seven cheques issued to the company later bounced, according to court records.

The legal fight expanded over the years. In April 2018, a Magisterial Court convicted Rajpal Yadav and spouse Radha in the cheque bounce matter and awarded six months of simple imprisonment. A Sessions Court upheld that conviction in early 2019, after which Rajpal Yadav moved the Delhi High Court in appeal.

In 2024, the court directed Rajpal Yadav to show clear efforts to clear the heavy dues. However, by February 2026, judges noted multiple breaches of undertakings to repay the money. The court then ordered Rajpal Yadav to surrender, which triggered the latest phase of the case.

Rajpal Yadav surrendered on February 5 after failing to settle the ₹9 crore liability and was subsequently lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail. Before going to jail, Rajpal Yadav spoke to Bollywood Hungama and said, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain. Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta (sir, what to do? I don’t have the money to pay back. Can’t see another way out).”
