Rajpal Yadav Jailed: The 5 Crore Loan That Led to Tihar Prison
- •Actor Rajpal Yadav sentenced to 6 months in Tihar Jail for failing to repay a 5 crore loan, which grew to 9 crore with interest.
- •The case stems from a 2010 loan taken for his directorial debut 'Ata Pata Laapata,' which flopped, leading to bounced checks.
- •Despite earning 1.5 crore per film and having a net worth of 50-80 crore, Yadav couldn't settle the debt, even after 20 court opportunities.
- •Bollywood figures like Sonu Sood, Tej Pratap Yadav, and Gurmeet Choudhary have offered financial aid and work to help him.
- •Yadav can still be released if he or his family deposits the 9 crore and the creditor agrees to a settlement under Section 147 (NI Act).
