Yash Dayal, the young left-arm pacer who recently made headlines with his impressive performances in the Indian Premier League for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, is now facing serious legal trouble off the field. A woman from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, has filed a formal complaint against the cricketer, accusing him of exploitation on the pretext of marriage. The allegations include emotional, physical, and financial abuse over a prolonged period of their alleged relationship.
According to the woman’s complaint, the two were involved in a relationship spanning nearly five years. During this time, she claims that Dayal repeatedly assured her of marriage, introduced her to his family as his prospective wife, and maintained a facade that convinced her of a committed future together. However, she alleges that these promises were eventually broken, and she was left emotionally devastated.
The complaint also mentions that she endured physical assault and psychological manipulation, particularly when she began questioning the sincerity of Dayal’s intentions. The woman further claims that she became aware of similar relationships Dayal allegedly had with other women, which added to her mental distress. She has submitted photographs, chat screenshots, call logs, and other forms of digital evidence to support her accusations.
The initial complaint was filed through the state’s women’s helpline in mid-June, but reportedly, no action was taken at the local police level. Frustrated by the lack of progress, the woman escalated the matter to the Chief Minister’s office using the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS). Following that, the police in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, were instructed to begin a formal inquiry into the matter.
Authorities have since confirmed that an investigation is underway, and a notice has been issued to Yash Dayal to record his statement. Police officials stated that they are collecting all available evidence and will interview key witnesses as part of their probe. The investigation is expected to conclude within a set timeline, and further legal action will depend on the findings.
This development comes at a time when Dayal is experiencing a surge in popularity after a successful IPL 2025 season. He played a crucial role in RCB’s championship run, picking up vital wickets and earning praise from teammates and experts alike. The gravity of the accusations, however, has shifted the spotlight away from his cricketing achievements and raised serious concerns regarding his off-field conduct.
As of now, Dayal has not issued any public statement in response to the allegations. His silence has only intensified the public and media scrutiny surrounding the case. Legal experts note that if the allegations are substantiated, Dayal could face serious consequences, both personally and professionally.
