Bollywood Actor Rajpal Yadav surrenders in cheque bounce case after HC rejects plea; sent to Tihar Jail to serve sentence as per court order.

Rajpal Yadav known for his comic roles in Bollywood movies, has highlighted in a very different scenario in this week.

On Thursday, the Dhol Movie Actor surrendered to the authorities at Delhi’s Tihar, and for his check bounce case, Delhi High Court refused to recall its direction

A jail official confirmed: “He surrendered before the jail authorities at 4 pm on Thursday. Now the jail authorities will follow the standard operating procedure.” according to PTI.

The 54-year-old had asked the court for one more week, saying he had arranged ₹50 lakh and needed time to make the payment. But the judges were not persuaded.

The court said, “This Court cannot be expected to show or create special circumstances for any person merely because such a person belongs to a particular background or industry. Leniency, though sometimes necessary, cannot be extended endlessly, especially when it is met with continued non-compliance.”

Masti Express actor and wife Mr and Mrs Murali projects Pvt Ltd accused the file against the actor that the multiple cheques issued but later bounced and failing to clear dues

In 2018, a Delhi court convicted the couple, sentencing the actor to six months in jail. That verdict was upheld the following year.

In June 2024, the High Court had temporarily suspended the sentence and urged Yadav to take “sincere and genuine measures” to settle the dispute. But earlier this month, the court said he had repeatedly broken his promises to repay the money.
