A New Delhi court on Monday sentenced Bollywood actor-comedian Rajpal Yadav, convicted of failing to repay a loan of Rs50 million (Dh2.76 million) taken by his company to make a movie, to six months jail.
It also slapped a fine of Rs112 million on him, observing that Yadav was convicted in seven cases of bouncing cheques and said that he will pay a fine of Rs16 million for each case.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Amit Arora, however, showed leniency to the actor’s wife Radha Yadav, asking her to pay a fine of Rs10 lakh.
The court later granted him bail on furnishing of a personal bond of Rs50,000.
Delhi-based company Murli Projects had filed a case against Yadav’s company Shree Naurang Godavari Entertainment for failing to repay a loan of Rs50 million which the actor took in 2010 to make his Hindi debut directional film Ata Pata Laapata.
