During the interaction, Rajpal responded to the common belief that someone with such a long career should have easily repaid Rs 5 crore. He said, “That’s exactly the question… the day people understand this, they will understand my entire case… I was not jailed because I didn’t have money. It was about a larger issue and a matter of principle.” He further explained that if it were only about the amount, “it would have been resolved in 2012 itself,” adding, “Ye 5 crore ka masla hota to 2012 me nipat ta. Iss 5 crore ne 17 crore ko dubane ka kaam kiya hai.”
