In 2010, Rajpal had borrowed ₹5 crore from Delhi-based Murali Pvt Ltd for his directorial venture Ata Pata Laapata. After the film failed at the box office, he was unable to repay the loan. Subsequently, seven cheques issued by the actor were dishonoured, leading to legal action.In 2018, a magistrate’s court convicted Rajpal and his wife, Radha, under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, sentencing him to six months of simple imprisonment. In 2024, the court suspended his sentence and directed him to take “sincere and genuine steps” to clear the outstanding dues, which had by then risen to ₹ 9 crore.On February 2, 2026, the Delhi High Court directed Rajpal to surrender after he informed the court that he did not have the means to repay the amount. He subsequently surrendered and was sent to Tihar Jail.During his jail term, Sonu Sood publicly offered financial assistance and also signed Rajpal for an upcoming project with a token remuneration, urging others in the industry to extend support. Following this, Rajpal’s manager revealed that Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan and others had come forward to help him.
