Actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5, 2026, after the Delhi High Court rejected his last-minute plea for more time in a long-running cheque bounce and loan default case.
The court ordered him to serve a six-month sentence after observing repeated violations of its directions. The case, which dates back to 2010, revolves around unpaid dues that reportedly escalated to nearly Rs 9 crore following the failure of his production venture Ata Pata Laapata.
What began as a business setback more than a decade ago gradually turned into a prolonged legal battle, culminating in Rajpal Yadav’s imprisonment despite multiple opportunities for settlement.
