Rajpal Yadav
Rajpal Yadav was recently imprisoned in Delhi’s Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court’s verdict in the Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case. He later got bail, after which he thanked those who supported him. Days after the controversy, Rajpal, at a press conference, made startling claims about his finances, projects and influence. His lawyer claimed attempts were made to malign his image and insisted he was always willing to settle the matter legally.
During the conference, Rajpal claimed, “If Rajpal doesn’t even have a single rupee in his pocket, believe me, for the next 10 years, there are 36 guest houses in this country for us, for love, not for position.” He added, “If we go to any district, there are sometimes 15 vehicles, sometimes 10 vehicles, in which I never have to put diesel. So, at the very least, Rajpal Yadav owns 7,000 vehicles in this country.” He also claimed that wherever he goes, a DM and commissioner are present in the district to assist him.
