Rajpal Yadav gets interim bail in cheque bounce case

Rajpal Yadav was granted bail by the Delhi High Court on Monday in connection with a ₹9-crore cheque bounce case. The actor had been lodged in Tihar Jail after failing to honour financial commitments related to his 2012 directorial debut Ata Pata Laapata. The film’s failure led to mounting losses and legal action under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

The court noted that Yadav deposited ₹1.5 crore in the complainant’s account, following which Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma granted an interim suspension of sentence till the next hearing. The actor has been directed to surrender his passport and remain present during proceedings scheduled for March 18. Earlier pleas seeking more time were rejected due to inconsistent payment assurances.

Amid the crisis, several film industry colleagues extended support. Rajpal Yadav was last seen in Baby John and will next appear in Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla, slated for release on April 10.

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra Under Mumbai Police Radar in ₹60 Crore Fraud Case

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra have come under the scanner of the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in connection with a ₹60 crore fraud case. According to sources, EOW officials visited Shilpa’s residence on Monday and questioned her for nearly 4.5 hours. Both Shilpa and Raj’s statements were recorded as part of the investigation.

During the interrogation, Shilpa reportedly provided documents related to alleged transactions from her advertising company’s bank account. The documents are currently being verified by the police. Raj Kundra, in his statement, mentioned that complainant Deepak Kothari’s NBFC had granted a ₹60 crore loan, which was later adjusted as equity in Kothari’s firm. He also claimed that ₹20 crore was used for celebrity promotions and broadcasting expenses, including payments to Bipasha Basu and Neha Dhupia.

EOW officials stated that Shilpa is a major shareholder in the company under investigation. Evidence suggests she received celebrity fees despite her shareholding, raising suspicions of fund misappropriation. The case, filed in August, is linked to the now-defunct Best Deal TV Pvt. Ltd., with lookout notices earlier issued against the couple.
