Actor Rajpal Yadav Fails Final Plea, To Surrender Today

Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav's bid to postpone his surrender in a long-standing cheque bounce case was dismissed by the Delhi High Court on Thursday. The actor is scheduled to surrender at Tihar Jail later today to commence his jail term.

Yadav, present in court, sought additional time to settle outstanding payments owed to Murli Projects Private Limited. However, the bench refused his plea, highlighting prior leniency and Yadav's failure to meet previous court-ordered assurances.

The conviction stems from a May 2024 sentence of six months' imprisonment for a cheque bounce offense. An earlier suspension of the sentence by the High Court, pending settlement, ultimately failed.
