Rajpal Yadav's Properties to Be Auctioned Over Rs 16.61 Crore Loan Default
Actor Rajpal Yadav faces auction of two Shahjahanpur properties over an unpaid Rs 16.61 crore loan taken to finance his 2012 directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata. The Central Bank of India has issued auction notices for these assets, valued at around Rs 3.19 crore, with the online auction scheduled for September 9. The loan default follows a Delhi High Court conviction in a related cheque bounce case. Yadav's family properties, pledged as collateral, are also under bank scrutiny, while discussions for settlement are reportedly ongoing.
