Legal hassle just doesn't seem to leave Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav alone. The actor was released from Tihar Jail back on February 17 in connection with Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case. He had surrendered on February 5 after the Delhi High Court turned down his plea to seek additional time to repay the amount. Later, the court had also suspended his sentence until March 18, and granted him temporary relief. The court had ordered Rajpal to deposit Rs 1.5 crore by 3 PM for interim bail. After the lawyer of the complainant, M/S Murli Project, stated that Rajpal had deposited the amount in the company's bank accounts against the bounced cheque amount, he was granted bail. However, if recent reports are anything to go by, more trouble could be brewing for the actor. Going by a recent statement by the counsel, Rajpal has over 21 cases filed against him. He didn't accept making the payment and stated that he would go to jail instead.
