After Sonu Sood, Music Producer Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav Offers ₹1.1 Crore to Rajpal Yadav in ₹9 Crore Cheque Bounce Case
Actor Rajpal Yadav, renowned for his impeccable comic timing, recently surrendered at Tihar Jail in connection with a decade-old ₹9 crore cheque bounce case. Following his surrender, several industry celebrities have extended financial support to help ease his burden.
Joining the support wave is music producer Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav, owner of GemTunes Music, who has offered ₹1.1 crore to Rajpal Yadav.Speaking to IANS, Rao Inderjeet said, “Rajpal ji has brought immense joy to audiences and has been a vital part of Indian cinema. This support isn’t just about money; it’s about standing by a fellow human being in their time of need.
Our industry is like a family, and families support each other when it matters most.”He also posted on Instagram encouraging others to come forward and assist the actor-comedian.Earlier, actors Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Chaudhary, and Tej Pratap Yadav, national president of Jan Shakti Janata Dal, had offered their help to Rajpal Yadav during this difficult time.
The Legal Case
According to PTI, Rajpal Yadav’s legal troubles began in 2010 when he borrowed ₹5 crore from M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to finance his directorial debut Ata Pata Laapata. Unfortunately, the film flopped at the box office, causing significant financial losses.
Over the years, accumulating interest, penalties, and delayed payments caused the dues to swell to nearly ₹9 crore. Rajpal issued multiple cheques to settle the amount, but these cheques were dishonoured, leading to criminal proceedings under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

On February 2, 2026, the Delhi High Court ordered Rajpal Yadav to surrender before jail authorities by 4 pm on February 4, citing repeated breaches of undertakings and expressing displeasure at his conduct. On February 5, 2026, Rajpal appeared before the court, with his counsel stating readiness to submit a demand draft of ₹25 lakh and comply with a new payment plan.
However, the judge refused to revoke the surrender order, emphasizing the need to balance compassion with discipline and rejecting any special treatment for film industry individuals. Later that day, Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail to begin serving his six-month sentence, with jail officials confirming standard procedures were followed.
Professional Update
On the professional front, Rajpal Yadav was last seen in Baby John and Interrogation. He is slated to appear next in Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, scheduled for release on April 10, 2026.
