Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav remains embroiled in a long running cheque bounce case, but his legal team has now alleged that the complainant is acting with “malicious intent” and is more interested in sending the actor to jail than resolving the financial dispute.
Rajpal’s lawyer, Bhaskar Upadhyay, recently addressed the media, claiming that the case is no longer just about recovering money. He argued that the complainant refused to accept substantial security offered by the actor. “If it was only about money, they could have taken the security. But there was a malicious intent,” Upadhyay said. He further alleged, “The complainant said, ‘We don’t want this and just kindly execute the decree by sending him in jail.’”
