Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered before the Tihar Jail authorities on Thursday evening after the Delhi High Court refused to extend the deadline in connection with his 2024 conviction in cheque-bounce cases.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, while ordering the actor to surrender immediately, strongly criticised him for failing to comply with the court’s earlier directive to surrender on February 4, as per the High Court order dated February 2. The court also refused to recall its previous order requiring him to surrender before the Jail Superintendent, Tihar.
During the hearing, Yadav’s counsel submitted that the actor could not surrender on February 4 as he was trying to arrange money to pay the complainant and was unable to reach Delhi by 4 pm. The counsel urged the court to recall the surrender order to allow him additional time to arrange the repayment.
However, the High Court expressed strong disapproval of the non-compliance and rejected Yadav’s plea, noting that the surrender order was passed on February 2 in the presence of his counsels and was reiterated on February 4, when his request for extension had already been rejected.
The court observed that the February 2 order had been uploaded the same evening, leaving “no room for confusion” regarding the surrender deadline. It further pointed out that Yadav had already been granted two additional days at his request, making it clear when he was required to reach Delhi and surrender.
