Actor Rajpal Yadav will remain in Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court rejected his bail application in a check-bounce case involving roughly Rs 9 crore. Court sources say the high court refused his plea and ordered that he remain in custody for at least four more days; the next hearing is scheduled for Monday, February 16, 2026. Yadav had surrendered to Tihar Jail on February 5, 2026.
Sources close to the court say judges adopted a strict stance because Yadav repeatedly failed to keep his earlier commitments to repay creditors. In his bail petition he cited a wedding at his home as a reason to be released, but the high court dismissed that argument and reproached him sternly before denying bail.
News of Yadav’s arrest prompted a swift reaction from some colleagues in the Hindi film industry, with several actors reportedly stepping forward to offer support. The case itself has roots in the financing of the film Aata Pata Lapata, for which Yadav reportedly took loans totalling Rs 5 crore from Murli Projects and the Central Bank. The film’s box-office failure left him unable to repay those loans, and the dispute later moved to the courts.
Yadav was earlier sentenced in 2018 to six months’ imprisonment; he appealed that conviction in the high court and made some payments toward the debt, but an outstanding sum of about Rs 9 crore remains to be recovered, according to the report. He has served time in prison before and been released on bail in the past.
The immediate legal development — the high court’s denial of bail and the scheduled hearing on February 16, 2026 — leaves Yadav in custody while the courts consider the pending recovery and related criminal proceedings. The case highlights the legal risks that can follow when film financing and loan repayments break down, and it underscores the courts’ willingness to take a firmer view when defendants are seen to flout repayment promises.
