The gates of Tihar Jail swung open for popular comedian Rajpal Yadav today, marking a pivotal moment in his ongoing legal battle over a check bounce case. Released on interim bail by the Delhi High Court, the actor wasted no time in addressing the press, showering praise on his supporters.
With a career spanning three decades and over 250 films in the pipeline, Yadav reflected on his journey. ‘This trouble started in 2012-13, but the love from India’s people – kids, seniors, youngsters – has been my strength,’ he shared. He pledged continued cooperation with the judiciary, having already deposited the required Rs 1.5 crore.
Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma granted the suspension until March 18, cautioning Yadav against any lapses in court appearances. Earlier, he had surrendered as per a court directive from February 2. Yadav’s heartfelt thanks to the bench underscored his respect for the legal process.
As Bollywood buzzes with relief, Yadav’s release highlights the intersection of fame, finance, and justice in India. Fans hope this is the end of a long ordeal, with the next hearing set to decide his fate definitively.
