Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav has received a reprieve from Tihar jail after being incarcerated for 11 days due to a bounced cheque case from 2018. Initially, the Delhi High Court had denied his bail petition last week, citing repeated failures to comply with a payment requirement of ₹9 crores. As a result, Yadav was directed to surrender to Tihar jail in early February for failing to meet the court's payment conditions.

Following several days of offers for financial assistance from individuals in the film industry, Rajpal Yadav was granted interim bail on Monday, February 16, which allows him to attend his niece's wedding in Shahjahanpur. His lawyer informed the High Court that he has deposited a bank draft of ₹1.5 crores as part of the bail conditions, and he has been ordered to surrender his passport. Although he has been granted bail, it is important to note that the release is only until the next court hearing scheduled for March 18, when the case will be reviewed further.

This development in Rajpal Yadav's legal troubles highlights the complexities of financial disputes in the entertainment industry, where even small financial transactions can lead to significant legal consequences. The actor's situation also underscores the role of peer support in the industry, as many colleagues stepped in to assist him during his time in jail. As the legal proceedings continue, the outcome of the next hearing will be crucial for Yadav's ongoing career and personal life, potentially impacting his professional engagements and public image in the future.
