“When you have already confessed to the offence, the question of suspending the sentence does not arise,” the judge said
Actor Rajpal Yadav recently surrendered in Tihar Jail in a Rs 9 crore cheque-bounce case pertaining to his 2010 film Ata Pata Laapata. The actor has been denied bail as the court observed he failed to honour his commitment.
“When you have already confessed to the offence, the question of suspending the sentence does not arise,” the judge said.
“I don’t understand what the argument is.
The judge had said there were no merits to interfere with the conviction. You then said you would explore settlement, went to mediation and said you would pay. For years, you didn’t make the payment. Now you want to reopen the case,” the court added. Justice Sharma further observed that Yadav had, on numerous occasions, acknowledged in court that he had taken the money.
Bollywood steps in for help
Rajpal Yadav’s manager told Indian Express, “A lot of people have reached out to help Rajpal Yadav. Actors like Sonu Sood, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn have extended their support. I was just on a call with David Dhawan—he too reached out. Ratan Nain, Varun Dhawan… many people are coming forward to help him this time, which Rajpal has deeply appreciated.”
Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa steps in too
“Let’s all help our senior actor Rajpal Yadav Sir. Will be transferring him advance amount as feature in one of my upcoming videos. Sonu Sood paji following what you started. Let’s all help and get him home safe,” the singer wrote on his Instagram stories.
Rajpal Yadav is a veteran of Hindi cinema who has an experience of over three decades in the industry. He has done his maximum films with Ram Gopal Varma, Priyadarshan, and David Dhawan. The actor is currently in jail for a Rs 9-crore cheque bouncing case.
