Why is Rajpal Yadav in jail

Actor Rajpal Yadav, who is best known for his comedy roles in films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), Hungama (2003) and Dhol (2007), failed to comply with the surrender deadline fixed by the Court after repeated violations of undertakings regarding a payment case stemming from 2010.

While Yadav was ready to deposit ₹25 lakh immediately, offering a repayment schedule for the remaining dues.

However, the Court declined to grant any relief, directing him to surrender on February 4, 2026.

Following the Court's observation, Yadav's counsel informed the bench that the actor would surrender at Tihar Jail later on February 5. The Court added that, after surrendering, Yadav would be free to file an appropriate application in accordance with the law.
