Delhi:  Comedian Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav was on Monday awarded six-month imprisonment by a Delhi court in seven cheque bounce cases for not repaying a loan worth over Rs 8 crore to a businessman.

The court, however, did not award imprisonment to his wife, who was also found guilty along with Rajpal for the same offence under section 138 (cheque bounce) of the Negotiable Instruments Act (NI Act), considering that she had signed those cheques on being asked by her actor husband.
However, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Amit Arora granted Rajpal bail on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and one surety of like amount.
