Is Rajpal Yadav released from jail?
No. Rajpal Yadav is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with a Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case. The video going viral is from an earlier period when he was released after serving jail time in 2018.
At that time, the actor had spent around three months in jail after being convicted for failing to repay a Rs 5 crore loan taken to finance his film Ata Pata Laapata. The case involved bounced cheques and proceedings under the Negotiable Instruments Act. Later, the Delhi High Court granted him time to repay the debt, but he failed to meet the deadlines.

Rajpal Yadav surrendered on February 5, 2026, following Delhi High Court orders. The court had earlier directed him to surrender to Tihar Jail authorities on February 4, 2026. Rajpal sought more time, but his plea was dismissed.
The next hearing on his bail plea is scheduled for February 16.
Several Bollywood actors, including Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan and Sonu Sood, have reportedly helped him financially in the past to clear parts of his debt
