Rajpal Yadav's lawyer claims the lender wanted to see the actor in jail

During the press conference in Mumbai, Rajpal Yadav, along with his lawyer, clarified that the actor had borrowed Rs 5 crore from Madhav Gopal Agarwal of M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd as an investment in the film 'Ata Pata Laapata'.






According to the Indian Express report, Rajpal Yadav's lawyer alleged that a high rate of interest was charged against the loan. Hence, the total amount went on to reach Rs 10.40 crore. The actor's advocate further claimed that the complainant wanted to see Rajpal Yadav in jail. He added that the lender didn't accept the security money and property documents offered by Rajpal and emphasized sending the actor to the prison.

The publication quoted Rajpal Yadav's lawyer saying, "They had said in the press conference that they never intended to send Rajpal to jail. That is not true. In 2018, Rajpal had submitted a security amount in court, and he was also ready to attach his property papers, but Madhav Gopal Agarwal refused the same and chose to send him to jail.”

The legal counsel added, "He is spreading lies and maligning Rajpal’s image. If he would have taken the security amount, the case would have closed in 2018 itself. His intention was never the money; it was to see Rajpal in jail."

Rajpal expressed that he has no intention to dupe anyone or get out of the situation through false means.
