Yadav's lawyer said,''He is spreading lies and maligning Rajpal's image''

During the press conference, Yadav's lawyer made several claims against businessman Madhav Gopal Agarwal of M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd, who invested Rs 5 crore in Yadav's 2010 directorial debut Ata Pata Laapata.

They claimed that the complainant did everything out of revenge and only wanted the actor to be in jail.

"They had said in the press conference that they never intended to send Rajpal to jail. That is not true," the actor's lawyer said.

“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.He is spreading lies and maligning Rajpal's image. His intention was never the money, it was to see Rajpal in jail.”
