Abhiruchi Cookery Show -13th April

Actor Rajpal Yadav walked out of Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court granted him interim bail in a cheque bounce case. The actor had spent 13 days in custody before securing relief, with the court granting bail until March 18.

During the previous hearing, the court directed the complainant to file a response and instructed Yadav to deposit a substantial amount toward the pending dues. At the latest hearing, Rajpal Yadav deposited ₹1.5 crore into the complainant’s bank account in compliance with the court’s earlier directions. The court also ordered him to surrender his passport, restricting him from leaving the country without prior permission.

Amid tight security and heavy media presence, the actor exited the jail premises and briefly addressed reporters. He said he has been part of the Hindi film industry for nearly 30 years and expressed gratitude to audiences across the country for supporting his films. Yadav also thanked his well-wishers on social media and stated that he has attended every court hearing and will continue to cooperate with the legal process. “Thank you to the High Court for giving me a chance to present my side,” he said.

Yadav was jailed in connection with a financial dispute amounting to nearly ₹9 crore dating back to 2010. He had reportedly borrowed ₹5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt. Ltd. to finance his film Ata Pata Paapata. After the film failed at the box office, he struggled with repayment. Over the years, multiple cheques issued toward clearing the dues allegedly bounced, leading to prolonged legal proceedings.

Several film personalities, including Salman Khan, Priyadarshan, Sonu Sood and Gurmeet Choudhary, reportedly extended financial support during the crisis. Yadav’s wife publicly expressed gratitude to those who stood by them during the difficult phase.

While the interim bail offers temporary relief, the legal proceedings in the cheque bounce case are set to continue.
