Politician Tej Pratap Yadav, national president of Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD), has announced financial support of Rs 11 lakh to the family of Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav, who are currently in the midst of a serious legal and financial crisis.

In a message shared on social media, he said that he and the entire family of JJD are with the bereaved and distressed family with full sympathy and strength.

Rajpal Yadav, a well-known Hindi film actor, recently surrendered to authorities at Tihar Jail in New Delhi after the Delhi High Court refused to extend his term in a long-running check-bouncing and loan default case.

The matter stems from unpaid fees linked to bounced cheques, with the dispute lasting more than a decade.

Just before surrendering, the actor made an emotional appeal that garnered widespread attention. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, he said, “Sir, what should I do? i don’t have money And there seems to be no solution… Lord, we are alone here. There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own.” (What should I do sir? I have no money and there is no other solution. Here we are all alone…)

In his message on social media, Tej Pratap Yadav expressed solidarity with Yadav’s family at this difficult time and emphasized on compassion and support. The JJD management’s contribution is aimed at helping the family manage immediate expenses amid the ongoing legal ordeal.

Rajpal Yadav’s legal troubles date back to a loan taken in 2010 to finance a film project, with bounced checks triggering prosecution under the Negotiable Instruments Act. Despite partial repayments over the years and multiple appeals, his request for additional time to clear the dues was rejected by the High Court, leading to his surrender in early February.
