Tej Pratap Yadav Extends Financial Support To Rajpal Yadav's Family
Tej Pratap Yadav announced that he will give Rs 11 lakh to actor Rajpal Yadav's family.
He wrote on X, "I received information about the anguish felt by the family of the honourable Rajpal Yadav ji through the post by my elder brother, Rao Inderjit Singh. In this extremely difficult time, my entire JJD (Jan Shakti Janata Dal) family and I stand in complete empathy and solidarity with their grieving family."
"With a spirit of human compassion and support, on behalf of the JJD family, I am providing financial assistance of Rs 11,00,000 to their family," the politician concluded.
Earlier, actor Sonu Sood had also come forward in support of Rajpal Yadav. He announced on X that he would offer the actor a role along with a signing amount.
Filmmaker Anees Bazmee, who has known Rajpal Yadav for over two decades, told NDTV, "I've known Rajpal Yadav for the past 20-25 years... He never had any intention of wronging anyone... Very few people in the film industry are fully proficient in paperwork... He is still working and earning gradually, but paying such a large amount at once is not easy for him."
About Rajpal Yadav's Case
Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5, 2026, after the Delhi High Court rejected his last-minute plea seeking more time in a cheque bounce and loan default case. The court ordered him to serve a six-month sentence, citing repeated violations of its directions.
The case dates back to 2010 and is linked to unpaid dues that reportedly rose to nearly Rs 9 crore following the failure of his production venture Ata Pata Laapata. What began as a business setback gradually turned into a prolonged legal battle, ultimately leading to his imprisonment despite multiple opportunities for settlement.
