All about Rajpal Yadav's ₹9 crore cheque bounce case

The Delhi High Court granted an interim order to the actor after ₹1.5 crore was deposited in the respondent’s bank account. The court ordered the suspension of the sentence on the condition that Yadav furnish a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh along with one surety of the same amount. The actor will remain out of custody until March 18, when the court is scheduled to hear the matter again. The actor was jailed after he failed to repay the loan from a businessman.

The case against Rajpal Yadav and his wife Radha was filed in 2018 for failing to pay back a loan of ₹5 crore (which accumulated to Rs 9 crore over the years) from a Delhi-based businessman in 2010. The actor had taken money for his directorial debut titled Ata Pata Laapata, which failed at the box office.
