The Central Bank of India has scheduled a September 9 online auction of two properties linked to actor Rajpal Yadav in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, over alleged unpaid dues of Rs 16.61 crore and Rs 64,000. The Times of India reports that the properties, including farmland, a village house and a city property, are valued at about Rs 3.19 crore. The bank has taken possession after repayment failed.

Hindustan Times reports that the loan was taken to finance Yadav’s film Ata Pata Lapata, with his wife Radha Yadav and mother Godavari named in the borrowing arrangement. Yadav’s brother said talks with the bank were continuing and claimed the property would not be auctioned. Yadav has not issued a public statement.
The loudest reading will treat this as a celebrity collapse, while another may dismiss it as routine paperwork. Neither is enough. The reported dues far exceed the stated value of these two properties, and the bank’s proposed auction does not by itself settle the wider liability. Claims about other properties, family roles and repayment talks need documents, not speculation. The clearest test is whether the September 9 auction proceeds or is withdrawn after a recorded settlement.
