The case was filed by MG Agarwal, proprietor of Multi Projects, against Yadav and his wife in Delhi. The actor had been sentenced to a six-month imprisonment by a Delhi court earlier this year.

In 2013, the actor had been sentenced to a 10-day imprisonment as well.
A prominent member of films like Partner (2007), Bhool Bhulaiyya (2007) and Khatta Meetha (2010), the actor has been absent from films for the last couple of years. He was last seen in the David Dhawan film, Judwaa 2 (2017).
