Actor Rajpal Yadav surrenders to Tihar Jail

Comic actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5, beginning a six-month sentence. This follows the Delhi High Court's rejection of his last-minute plea concerning a decade-old cheque bounce and loan default case.

The legal trouble originated in 2010 when Yadav borrowed Rs 5 crore to finance his directorial debut, 'Ata Pata Laapata.' The film's failure led to financial losses, and over time, with interest and penalties, the outstanding amount escalated to nearly Rs 9 crore.

Rajpal Yadav issued multiple cheques to settle the dues, but they were dishonoured, initiating criminal proceedings. The Delhi High Court had directed him to surrender by February 4, observing his conduct deserved deprecation due to repeated breaches of undertakings.
