Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav is currently serving a sentence in Tihar Jail in the check bounce case. Before going to jail, he had mentioned financial constraints, after which many people from the film industry came forward to help him. Artists like Sonu Sood and Gurmeet Choudhary have expressed support, while recently actor and self-proclaimed film critic KRK (Kamal R Khan) has also offered financial assistance. He has appealed to Bollywood that everyone should come together to help Rajpal.
KRK gave 10 lakhs
On Tuesday, KRK wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account that he is ready to give Rs 10 lakh to Rajpal Yadav. Appealing to the industry, he said that if everyone together collects Rs 5 crore and the amount is paid, then Rajpal can come out of jail immediately.
These people also came forward to help Rajpal Yadav
Meanwhile, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has also issued a statement in his support. In the letter issued on Wednesday, the organization clarified that this is not an appeal for charity, but a matter of showing solidarity towards a fellow member. On Tuesday, Sonu Sood also proposed a film to Rajpal Yadav. Apart from this, politician Tej Pratap Yadav and some film producers have assured financial assistance. Many people are seen standing with him in this difficult time.
Rajpal Yadav needs crores of rupees
Actually, Rajpal Yadav had taken a loan of about Rs 5 crore from a company named M/s Murali Projects Private Limited. It is alleged that all the checks he gave to repay the amount bounced. This amount was taken for the purpose of film production, but due to non-payment the company filed a case against him. The lower court found Rajpal Yadav guilty in the check bounce case and sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment. However, the High Court had earlier put a temporary stay on his sentence, with the condition that he would pay the outstanding amount to the company. Despite repeated assurances in the court, payment was not made. The court described his attitude as serious and said that he has hurt the trust of the court. Finally, last Thursday, Rajpal Yadav surrendered in Tihar Jail.
