Rajpal Yadav will stay in Tihar Jail, bail application rejected

Famous actor-comedian Rajpal Yadav has surrendered to Tihar Jail and will serve his sentence as his bail application was rejected due to a default on a loan of 9 crores.

Famous Indian actor and comedian Rajpal Yadav has surrendered to Tihar Jail as he serves a sentence related to a case in which he defaulted on a loan amounting to 9 crores. On February 12, the Delhi High Court conducted a hearing concerning his bail application, but he was denied bail despite various arguments presented by his legal team. The court expressed its disapproval of Yadav, emphasizing that his incarceration was a consequence of his own actions rather than a judicial order.

The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to Murli Project Company regarding Yadav's application for bail and suspended sentence. The next hearing is set for February 16, during which the bail application will be reviewed further. Yadav requested bail to attend his niece's wedding in Shahjahanpur but was met with stern remarks from Justice Swarnkant Sharma during the proceedings, indicating his lack of consideration for the legal obligations surrounding his financial conduct.

The actor's legal representative mentioned that discussions with Yadav regarding the financial matters are still pending before they could finalize a plan for addressing the loan issue. The situation underscores the legal challenges faced by Yadav due to his financial dealings, which he has acknowledged in court multiple times, indicating a critical juncture not just for his personal life but also for his professional reputation as a public figure in the Indian entertainment industry.
