In a major development, trouble doesn’t seem to be ending soon for RCB pacer Yash Dayal. The left-arm seamer is most likely to be banned from playing in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2025. The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) is closely monitoring the accusations against Dayal and has decided not to allow him to take part in their premier T20 league.

This decision comes after an FIR was lodged against him at Jaipur’s Sanganer Sadar Police Station in July, accusing the cricketer of raping a 17-year-old minor. Dayal was last seen in action in May as part of the IPL 2025 trophy-winning RCB team. Jaipur Police has registered a case against him under the POCSO Act and the Indian Penal Code (BNS). This news has come as a shock to cricket fans.

Yash Dayal Banned from UPT20 2025

As per Dainik Jagran, Yash Dayal, who was bought for ₹7 lakh by the Gorakhpur Lions, has been banned by the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) from playing in the UP T20 League 2025. Before the complaint lodged in Jaipur, an FIR was already registered against him in Ghaziabad for alleged sexual exploitation on the promise of marriage.

UPCA sources told the publication that Dayal was banned from the league due to these cases. However, the Gorakhpur Lions’ owners said they had not yet received any formal order from the UPCA. The UPCA claimed they had warned the franchise not to allow Dayal to play. The franchise said that while Dayal’s name is still on the team list, they will take action if a formal directive is issued.

In the Ghaziabad FIR, the complaint was first submitted to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s grievance portal on June 21. Later, a formal FIR was filed. The Allahabad High Court then ordered a stay on Yash Dayal’s arrest.

Fresh Allegations from Jaipur

A second FIR was lodged in Jaipur, claiming that Dayal exploited a 17-year-old minor for two years, promising her a future in professional cricket. The girl alleged that she was emotionally blackmailed and tortured during this time.

In the Ghaziabad case, the woman alleged she had been in a relationship with Dayal for five years. She claimed the RCB pacer promised to marry her but backed out, causing her emotional and physical harm. Recently, the Jaipur court denied interim protection to Dayal. Justice Sudesh Bansal, who is hearing the case, said the next hearing will be on August 22.

Past Controversy

This is not the first time Dayal has been in the news for negative reasons. Two years ago, he was accused of posting objectionable communal content on Instagram. Dayal later clarified that the post was made from his account but was not uploaded by him. Right now, legal action is ongoing, and Yash Dayal’s cricket career remains uncertain.

The last hearing at the court came as some fresh air for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Yash Dayal. Now, from the latest reports, it can be surely said that the emerging cricket may have to face more troubles in the upcoming days.

Fresh media reports suggested that because of allegations of sexual exploitation, the UP Cricket Association (UCA) is all set to ban Yash Dayal from the upcoming Uttar Pradesh T20 League (UPT20 2025). For this season of the UPT20 league, Dayal joined the Gorakhpur Lions for the lucrative amount of Rs 7 lakh. But after this development, his future in the league is now in a dilemma.

The decision taken by the UP Cricket Association comes after an FIR was lodged against him at Jaipur’s Sanganer Sadar Police Station earlier in July. The talented cricketer is accused of raping a 17-year-old minor girl. After the cases registered against Yash Dayal, the cricket governing board of Uttar Pradesh decided to ban the bowler.

Dayal's future in UPT20 2025 is under review 

The UPT20 franchise that signed Dayal provided a different statement to the media. According to the reports, Gorakhpur Lions owners had not received any such directive from the UPCA. But, as long as the RCB star is their registered player, they would take necessary steps according to the situations. 

Though the governing body informed them that they had warned the franchise to prohibit the cricketer from the upcoming edition of the tournament. When Dayal was heading after facing the first FIR, another FIR was lodged from another side in Jaipur, claiming that Dayal exploited the minor over two years. 

Court's observation 

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.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer, Yash Dayal, has again found himself in a new controversy as the bowler has been accused of a rape case in Jaipur. A few shocking details have come out regarding the left-arm pacer’s alleged sexual involvement with a 17-year-old minor during the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Before this, he was on trial for sexual assault. 

A woman from Ghaziabad had alleged that the Uttar Pradesh-born pacer had committed the same activity. However, the Allahabad High Court had served a stay over the Police Custody of Yash Dayal as per the recent proceedings. This now creates a high risk for the RCB player, as it involves a minor girl aged 17 accusing the player of rape. An FIR was filed against him in the Sanganer Sadar Police Station in Jaipur.

Yash Dayal, as reported, promised the young girl a bright future in professional cricket and used her for two years. The SHO of the Police station, Anil Jaiman, stated that the girl came in touch with the bowler while playing cricket. A couple of years ago, when the victim was a minor, Dayal was involved in multiple rapes.

RCB pacer Yash Dayal filed rape case with minor during IPL 2025 in Jaipur

The police stated that it was during the game between RCB and the Rajasthan Royals when Dayal called the victim near the Sitapura area to a hotel and raped her. After several instances of physical and mental harassment, the victim registered an official complaint on July 23, 2025.

The Jaipur police informed that since the report was made when the girl was a minor, it will come under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act 2012). The punishment could be severe and may include imprisonment for multiple years. It won’t be sweet news for the RCB pacer, whose career might be destroyed.

Yash Dayal picked up 13 wickets in 15 innings at an average of 36.15 and an economy rate of 9.59 during the recent season of the IPL and helped the Royal Challengers Bengaluru side to win their maiden title of the league under the leadership of Rajat Patidar.

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. 

In what comes as a major relief for Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer Yash Dayal, the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday stayed his arrest in connection with a case filed against him for allegedly exploiting a woman over a five-year period. The FIR was registered on July 6 at the Indirapuram police station in Ghaziabad under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means.

A bench comprising Justice Siddharth Varma and Anil Kumar heard the plea and granted a stay on the pacer’s arrest until the next date of listing. Yash Dayal had approached the court seeking protection from arrest after the complaint was filed. During the hearing, the bench questioned the woman’s allegations, remarking, “You could have been fooled for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days…but 5 years…you are entering into a relationship for 5 years…one can’t be fooled for 5 years.”

According to the woman, she and Yash met around five years ago, and he allegedly promised to marry her. She claimed that he kept delaying marriage while being involved with other women. Legal counsel Gopal Swaroop Chaturvedi, assisted by Gaurav Tripathi and Raghuvansh Mishra, appeared for Yash in the matter.

Yash Dayal Files Counter Complaint

In a parallel development, Yash Dayal has filed a complaint with the Prayagraj police, seeking an FIR against the same woman. He approached the Khuldabad police station, accusing her of theft and alleging she stole his iPhone and laptop. According to a report by NDTV, Yash stated that he first came in contact with her via Instagram four years ago.

Yash further alleged that the woman borrowed lakhs of rupees from him, citing medical emergencies involving herself and her family. He claimed that she promised to repay the amount but failed to do so, prompting him to take legal action.

A few days ago, a Ghaziabad woman made serious sexual harassment allegations and exploitations on the left-arm Indian pacer, Yash Dayal, who had been booked under Section 69 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The woman registered the FIR at the Indirapuram police station, followed by a preliminary investigation into a complaint filed through the Chief Minister’s grievance portal.

Now, Dayal has revealed a secret story about the woman, where he expressed how she took a huge chunk of money from the fast bowler in the name of medical treatment. Section 69 of the BNS Act is committed on different bases of faulty promises, like flawed assurance of marriage or employment. She also made reports of the RCB pacer torturing her financially, mentally, and physically.

“The woman, who has accused me of sexual harassment and has registered a FIR on that, met me on Instagram in the year 2021. On the name of her medical treatment, she charged lakhs of money. She also promised to give my money back, but I have not gotten back a single penny as of now.” The Uttar Pradesh-born pacer was addressed as the reports have claimed.

Yash Dayal reveals the inside story of the accused girl of sexual harassment

However, the woman echoed a different story. She broke the news that it was the 27-year-old pacer who charged money from her during their relationship days. For the evidence of the entire story, she also spoke about carrying chat records, photographs, video recordings, and various screenshots to back her words. Dayal’s statement, however, has now changed the entire momentum of the story.

Dayal was part of the ‘Play Bold’ army when they earned their maiden IPL trophy in 2025. Whether with the new ball in the powerplay or in the death overs with the old ball, the left-arm pacer was equally incredible and contributed massively. He picked up 13 wickets during the successful campaign under Rajat Patidar’s captaincy at an economy rate of under 10, including the best figures of 2/18 in an inning.

Yash got a national call-up last year during their home series against Bangladesh. He also flew to Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 to help the batters in the practice sessions, but he is yet to make his red-ball debut for the Indian side.

The left-arm pacer of India and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Yash Dayal, has been booked under Section 69 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) as a Ghaziabad woman made serious sexual harassment allegations and exploitation against him. The woman registered the FIR at the Indirapuram police station after a preliminary investigation into a complaint filed through the Chief Minister’s grievance portal. 

Section 69 of the BNS deals with the sexual acts in India that are committed on different bases of faulty promises, like the flawed assurance of employment or marriage. It can be treated as fraud and exploitation, as the punishment could be up to ten years in prison.

The complaint addressed that the woman alleged her five-year relationship with Yash Dayal. During this time, the bowler mentally, financially, and physically tortured her under the false promise of marriage. She also revealed that the Uttar Pradesh-born falsely introduced her to his family as a married couple. Upon realizing the intentions, when he tried to confront Dayal, Dayal started to harass her.

The complaint didn’t end here. It has also been stated that the 27-year-old charged money from the woman during their course of the relationship. She also stated that the pacer has behaved in the same way with the other women in the past. For the evidence supporting her claims, the woman also touched on carrying chat records, photographs, video recordings, and various screenshots.

On the other hand, the pacer is yet to make a comment on the entire incident. He was part of the RCB set-up in their maiden IPL-winning campaign. To help the ‘Play Bold’ franchise win the title, he contributed immensely. His death bowling was a vital part behind the Rajat Patidar-led side’s success. He picked up 13 wickets in RCB’s campaign in 15 innings at an economy rate of under 10 with the best figures of 2/18 in an inning.

Last year, he earned his maiden call-up to the national side for the home series against Bangladesh in the longest format, but has yet to make his debut for the country. Dayal also flew to Australia to bowl against the national batters in the training during the BGT 2024-25. He is expected to turn up for the Gorakhpur Lions squad in the upcoming UP T20 league 2025.

Fresh allegations have emerged against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal, following earlier accusations made by a woman from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The woman had previously accused the 27-year-old cricketer of emotional, mental, and physical exploitation under the promise of marriage. In her latest claims, she has alleged that Dayal had multiple affairs during their four-and-a-half-year relationship and used his money, fame, and influence to try and cover up the matter.

"I stayed at Yash Dayal's house for 15 days. He even took me on a trip to Ooty. I have been at his home many times and have spent time with his family. Yash Dayal and his family kept raising hopes by giving assurance of marriage," the woman claimed, as reported by Dainik Bhaskar. She also stated that she has connected with another woman who said she was similarly deceived by Dayal.

The woman further alleged, "Yash Dayal has made attempts to manipulate the case with money, but I have full faith in the law. The police have said that Yash Dayal has been sent a notice." She revealed that another woman contacted her on April 17, 2025, and shared proof of Dayal being involved with multiple women, confirming her earlier doubts.

The complainant has claimed that she is aware of at least three other women with whom Dayal had affairs. "I could have walked away, but how would I know he was cheating? He never showed it. I left it to God, but when his family started speaking badly about me, I decided to take legal steps," she said.

"I had left him to God's mercy, but after that Yash Dayal and his family spoke very badly. There is a thing called self-respect in love, which girls lose. I am also fighting for the little girl to whom Yash Dayal did wrong. Yash Dayal is hiding; let him stay hidden. This is what his family and he have done," she added. On the cricket front, Dayal recently lifted the IPL 2025 title with RCB and was also part of India's Test squad in 2024.

The Ghaziabad woman claimed some massive allegations about Yash Dayal. In a recent interview with Dainik Bhaskar, it was claimed that Dayal had relationships with multiple girls. 

Yash Dayal had emerged as one of the talented players in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He experienced two successful stints with Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. When all things were looking on the right track, the shocking arrived—RCB star accused of sexual assaults, FIR filed. 

A young woman from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, claimed in the interview that she filed a complaint because Dayal cheated her while also being involved with other women after. The woman further claimed that they had a relationship for more than four years, even though she had a good relationship with his family. Dayal promised him marriage, but later, the woman came to know that the cricketer had multiple relationships. She even presented at the stand with his family during the IPL 2022 final, when Gujarat Titans won the title, the woman said.

She came to know about other relationships when a girl contacted her and showed proof of their bond. She has doubts that Dayal's family was well aware of the incidents and still made fake promises of marriage, the woman said in the interview. 

Why she decided to take legal step?

"I could have walked away, but how would I know he was cheating? He never showed it. I left it to God, but when his family started speaking badly about me, I decided to take legal steps," she added. 

"Power, money, and fame are being used to cover this up. But I have full faith in the law."

Dayal's IPL career in brief 

The left-arm fast-medium bowler has played 43 matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He made his IPL debut in 2022 with Gujarat Titans, securing 11 wickets in 9 matches, and contributed to the team's title win in their maiden season. In IPL 2025, he played for RCB, Dayal was retained for the season at a price of INR 5 crores, having taken 13 wickets in 15 matches in the previous season. Overall, he has taken 41 wickets in his IPL career at an average of 33.90 and economy rate of 9.58. 

 I tried to forgive him I really did. When you love someone deeply, you always hold on to the hope that they’ll change, that the good in them will rise above the bad. I stood by him for years, through things the public never saw. I saw the man behind the fame, behind the posts, behind the charm and I wish I hadn’t. What people don’t realize is that not all pain leaves visible wounds. The trauma he left behind still lives with me, even though I’ve walked away. The hardest part is knowing that even after all this, people still praise him, still trust him, and still don’t know the truth said yash dayal.

He manipulated emotions like it was second nature. What he showed to the world and who he was with me were two entirely different people.His was a love of terms, silence, and control. And he took all of me my support, my love, my loyalty and left me with betrayal and confusion. I spent years doubting myself, thinking I’d done something wrong when I hadn’t; thinking the problem lay with me when I was just fine and it wasn’t me, it was him. He used the love I gave as a shield to cover his wrongs. And I’m speaking now, not out of spite, but out of healing. Because silence protects the wrong people.

What hurts even more is knowing I wasn’t the only one.This isn’t just my story. It’s a cycle: the repeating cycle of using, discarding, pretending. I’ve heard other people tell stories like mine, too, in low voices, in fear. But I’m done being quiet. People have a right to see the truth behind the spin. And maybe, by speaking out, someone else will feel less alone.

What the World Sees Isn't Always the Truth

Behind every filtered smile and public appearance lies a story that may never be told. But I’m telling mine. Being a public figure doesn’t mean you’re above consequences. You don’t get to preach loyalty if you never lived it.

I gave five years of my life, believing in love. Now I’m choosing truth. I leave the rest to God because He sees it all, even what the world refuses to see.
