Famous Bollywood comedian Rajpal Yadav has got a big relief from Delhi High Court. Rajpal Yadav, who is lodged in Tihar jail in an old check bounce case, has got interim bail. On the condition of the court, he deposited a demand draft of Rs 1.5 crore, after which he will soon be out of jail. This matter is related to a loan of about Rs 9 crore.

Court set strict conditions

Hearing was held in Delhi High Court on 16 February 2026. Rajpal Yadav’s lawyer told the court that the actor is ready to deposit Rs 1.5 crore without any conditions. Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma clearly said that the amount should be deposited through demand draft (DD) only. The court mentioned the DDs of Rs 25 lakh and Rs 75 lakh already deposited.

The court told the lawyer- "If a demand draft of Rs 1.5 crore is deposited by 3 pm today, we will release him. Otherwise the hearing will be held again tomorrow morning." Rajpal Yadav deposited this amount on time in the name of Murali Projects Private Limited, which secured his release.
