Rajpal Yadav's Properties to Be Auctioned Over Rs 16.61 Crore Loan Default
Actor Rajpal Yadav faces auction of two Shahjahanpur properties by the Central Bank of India over an unpaid loan exceeding Rs 16.61 crore, originally taken to finance his 2012 film Ata Pata Laapata. The combined property value is around Rs 3.19 crore. Auction proceedings are scheduled for September 9, though Yadav's family states ongoing talks with the bank to resolve the matter. This follows a recent Delhi High Court conviction sentencing Yadav to three months in jail for cheque bounce cases linked to the loan.
