The Delhi High Court on Friday sent Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav to jail for three months for failing to repay a Rs 5 crore loan that his company took to produce a film.

Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw ordered that Yadav should be taken into custody and kept in Tihar Jail.

Delhi-based company Murli Projects had filed a civil case against Yadav's company Shree Naurang Godavari Entertainment for failing to repay Rs 5 crore which the actor took in 2010 to make his Hindi debut directional film "Ata Pata Laapata".

Earlier in April, Yadav was sentenced to six months in jail by Karkardooma Court in the recovery suit. He was later granted bail in the case.

The actor, his wife and the company were convicted in the recovery suit filed against them.
