New Delhi: Less than a month after helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lift the IPL trophy for the first time, Yash Dayal is in a soup.
A woman has lodged a complaint accusing Dayal of exploitation on the pretext of marriage.
The woman, who is from Ghaziabad, lodged a complaint on the women’s helpline number 181 on June 14, but the process was not taken forward at the police station.
She then sought justice from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s office directly, filing a complaint on his online grievance portal IGRS. An FIR was lodged based on that complaint.
The CM’s office has sought a report from the Circle Officer (CO) of Indirapuram, Ghaziabad and the police have been given time until July 21 to resolve the complaint filed on IGRS, India Today reported quoting sources.
According to the FIR, the woman was in a five-year relationship with Dayal, who mentally and physically exploited her. She claimed that Dayal had taken money from her during the relationship, and she found out that the pacer had similarly cheated other women in the past.
The woman said she has chat records, screenshots, video calls and photos as evidence.
“For the past 5 years, the complainant had been in a relationship with a cricketer. The man emotionally, mentally, and physically exploited her by misleading her with the promise of marriage. He introduced the complainant to his family and behaved like a husband, which made her trust him completely. When the complainant realised the deception and protested, she was subjected to physical violence and mental harassment. During the relationship, the complainant was also exploited financially and emotionally,” the FIR stated.
“Later, it was found that the man was involved in similar false relationships with other girls too. On June 14, 2025, the complainant called the women’s helpline 181, but the process did not move forward at the police station. The complainant is mentally and socially distressed, and is seeking justice through the Chief Minister’s office. She has chat records, screenshots, video calls, and photos as evidence,” the complaint read.
“It has been requested that a swift investigation be conducted into the matter and that legal action be taken against the concerned individual. This step is not only important for her but also for all those girls who fall victim to such deceitful relationships.”
Left-arm pacer Dayal took 13 wickets in 15 matches for RCB in IPL 2025, including 2/26 in Qualifier 1 against Punjab Kings and 1/18 in the final, also against Punjab Kings.
