Rajpal Yadav Controversy – Actor Rajpal Yadav, known for his brilliant comedy in films, is currently going through a difficult phase in his life. He had to surrender in Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court denied him relief in a ₹9 crore check bounce case. An emotional statement from Rajpal Yadav surfaced before his surrender, prompting several figures from the film and political world to come forward to help him.
Who announced their assistance?
Several names have come forward to support Rajpal Yadav in his legal battle:
Rao Inderjit Singh announced legal assistance of ₹1.11 crore on behalf of the Gem Tunes family.
Janashakti Janata Dal (JJD) chief Tej Pratap Yadav pledged ₹11 lakh.
KRK (Kamal R Khan) offered ₹10 lakh.
Actors Gurmeet Choudhary and Sonu Sood have also extended their support, although the amount has not been disclosed. About ₹1.32 crore has been publicly announced so far.
How much debt does Rajpal Yadav have?
According to a report by news agency PTI, the court order stated that two demand drafts of ₹75 lakh each were deposited with the Registrar General in October 2025. Despite this, an amount of approximately ₹9 crore is still outstanding.
When can he be released from jail?
Rao Inderjit Singh stated on social media that he has spoken to Rajpal Yadav’s younger brother. He also stated that if the required amount is not deposited by February 14, he will personally attempt to deposit the remaining amount to pave the way for his release by Mahashivratri. However, the final decision will depend on the court’s order.
What is the whole matter? (Timeline)
Rajpal Yadav’s legal troubles are not new; they began in 2010.
2010
Rajpal Yadav took a loan of approximately ₹5 crore from Murli Projects Private Limited for his directorial venture, “Aata Pata Lapata.” The film was not a box office success, and he faced difficulties in repaying the loan. Subsequently, several checks bounced, leading to a court case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
2018
A magistrate court convicted Rajpal Yadav and his wife and sentenced them to six months’ imprisonment.
2019
The sessions court upheld the lower court’s verdict. The couple subsequently filed a revision petition in the Delhi High Court.
2024
The Delhi High Court suspended the sentence, stating that they were not professional criminals. This relief was extended from time to time.
December 2025
Rajpal Yadav’s lawyer informed the court that demand drafts for ₹40 lakh were ready and the remaining amount would be deposited by January 2026.
February 4, 2026
The Delhi High Court refused to extend the suspension and directed him to appear before the jail superintendent by 4 pm that day.
February 5, 2026
The court also refused to revoke its order. Justice Swaran Kanta Sharma remarked that non-compliance with the order showed a lack of seriousness towards the law.
What’s next?
Rajpal Yadav’s release now depends on the payment of the outstanding amount and the court’s next order. Currently, support from the film industry and politics has brought the issue into the spotlight.
