Is Rajpal Yadav released from jail?
The truth is different from what social media claims. The viral video is not recent. It is an old clip from a previous time when Rajpal had completed an earlier jail term. It has now resurfaced and is being shared without context.
As of now Rajpal Yadav has not been released in connection with the ongoing Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case. The legal matter relates to a loan taken to finance his film project which later led to financial disputes. Reports confirm that he surrendered earlier this month and remains in judicial custody.
What is the Rs 9 crore case about?
The dispute is linked to a loan Rajpal took for a film production venture. When the repayment did not happen on time legal action followed under financial laws related to cheque dishonour. This is not the first time he has faced legal trouble over loan repayment. In 2018 he had also served a short jail term in a separate but similar case.
