Rajpal Yadav Jailed: Why Rs 9 Crore Payment? Case & Bollywood Support Explained

  • Actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered to Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court refused to extend the deadline for a Rs 9 crore payment in cheque-bounce cases.
  • Yadav borrowed Rs 5 crore in 2010 from M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd for his directorial debut 'Ata Pata Laapata', which flopped.
  • Despite an estimated net worth of ₹50-85 crore, Yadav claims severe financial crisis and inability to pay the outstanding amount.
  • Bollywood celebrities like Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Choudhary, Guru Randhawa, KRK, and politicians Tej Pratap Yadav and Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav have offered support and financial aid.
  • FWICE has also appealed to the film and television fraternity for contributions to help the actor.
