The latest development in the ongoing legal saga involving Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav is his surrender to Tihar Jail following the Delhi High Court's refusal to grant him further leniency in a check bounce case. According to Hum News, the court had previously convicted Yadav and his wife under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act in April 2018, sentencing them to six months in prison. Despite multiple appeals, the court's final decision on February 4, 2026, mandated Yadav's immediate incarceration. The actor's financial woes stem from a 5 crore INR loan taken in 2010 for his film 'Ata Pata Laapata', which failed, leading to bounced checks and a current debt of approximately 9 crore INR. In response, political and film industry figures have rallied to support Yadav financially. Tej Pratap Yadav, a political leader, announced an 11 lakh INR donation, while actor Gurmeet Choudhary urged the film community to unite in support. Critic and actor KRK also pledged 10 lakh INR and called for a collective 5 crore INR fund to aid Yadav's release. KRK emphasized that timely financial assistance could alleviate legal complications. Meanwhile, Pakistan News Index highlights Yadav's poignant statement before his surrender, where he expressed his isolation and financial despair, stating, 'I have no money and no way out. We are all alone here, with no friends or support.' This statement has gone viral, reflecting the gravity of his situation and the emotional toll it has taken on him.
