Bollywood Actor Rajpal Yadav Granted Interim Bail in ₹9 Crore Cheque Bounce Case

Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav has been granted interim bail by the Delhi High Court in a long-running cheque bounce and debt case involving nearly ₹9 crore. The bail was granted on Monday after he deposited ₹1.5 crore with the complainant by 3 pm.

Yadav had requested bail to attend his niece’s wedding in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on February 19. To secure bail, the court asked him to surrender his passport, pay a bail bond of ₹1 lakh with a surety of the same amount, and not leave the country without permission. The next hearing is scheduled for March 18, and the court has directed him to appear either in person or via video call.

The actor’s financial troubles grew after his 2012 directorial film 'Ata Pata Laapata' failed at the box office, leading to unpaid dues of nearly ₹9 crore. 

Since his surrender at Tihar Jail, several Bollywood stars, including Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Sonu Sood, and Priyadarshan, have offered financial support. Others like David Dhawan, Varun Dhawan, Gurmeet Chaudhary, Mika, Guru Randhawa, Anup Jalota, Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav, and Vijender Singh have also helped him.
