Indian cricketer Yash Dayal has been facing serious allegations of raping a 17-year-old minor during the IPL 2025 season.
It is alleged that an FIR report has been registered against Dayal at Jaipur’s Sanganer Police Station for allegedly raping a girl for two years while emotionally blackmailing her.
It is revealed that Dayal lured her with promises of a cricketing career, and invited her to a hotel in Sitapura, where the first sexual assault took place.
It is reported that the girl was only 17 when the first instance took place, prompting the police to register the case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
This comes after Allahabad High Court recently stayed Yash Dayal’s arrest in connection with an FIR against him for allegedly sexually exploiting another woman.
A bench comprising of Siddhartha Varma and Anil Kumar passed the order on Dayal’s petition challenging the FIR. Staying his arrest, the court asked state counsel to file a counter affidavit and also issued notices to the complainant to file her counter in the matter.
The first FIR against Yash Dayal who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL, was registered on July 06 at the Indirapuram police station in Ghaziabad district under section 69 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Yash Dayal has been accused of sexually exploiting a woman on the pretext of marriage. The petitioner’s counsel submitted that a person can be accused of an offence under Section 69 of BNS only if it is established that he makes a promise to marry to a women without intentional to fullfill it.
In his petition, Yash Dayal had sought of his arrest in the matter as well as quashing of the FIR registered against him.
According to the complainant, the two had met around five years ago, and Dayal had promised to marry her. The woman also claimed that Dayal went on to postponing her proposal to marry and she came to know Dayal was involved with other women as well.
The complaint was initially submitted on June 21 via the chief minister’s online grievance portal (IGRS).
