RCB Star Yash Dayal police case latest update: Court highlights most complicate angle of the case

Huge relief for Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer Yash Dayal. The Allahabad High Court puts a hold on his arrest in a case involving alleged misconduct in a relationship. The court's view came as a breather for the emerging cricketer.

The court made a strong observation by saying, "You can be fooled for a day or two… but not for 5 years." The Court also tried to put some light on the timing of the complaint. The allegation of misconduct in a relationship against Dayal headlined just after RCB's IPL 2025 triumph, during the rise of the talented cricketer in the franchise league.

It was on July 8, 2025, when reports claimed that the cricketer had been booked under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The case of sexual exploitation was filed by a woman with whom Dayal was in a relationship. The major developments regarding the issue came after the first hearing of the case against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cricketer, Yash Dayal, on July 15, 2025.

The relationship was a out 5 years long

A Division Bench of Justices, Siddhartha Varma and Anil Kumar, reflected that the relationship between the cricketer and the woman was about 5 years long, which complicated the matter more. "We have perused the FIR, from which it is apparent that the relationship between the parties continued for a span of five years. At this stage, it is difficult to ascertain whether there was any promise of marriage, or if there was any such promise, it was a false one from the very beginning with an intention to obtain sexual consent," quoted in the statement.

The court also put a hold on Yash Dayal's arrest until the next hearing date or until the police file their report before the bench. "Till the next date of listing or till the submission of the police report, whichever is earlier, the petitioner shall not be arrested," the court said.
