Yash Dayal, the left-arm pacer, who was part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team that won the IPL 2025, has been accused by a woman of exploitation on the pretext of marriage, and a complaint has been registered in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
India Today reported that the Uttar Pradesh chief minister's office has requested that the Ghaziabad police investigate a complaint that was submitted via the Chief Minister's online grievance portal (IGRS).
The article claims that on June 14 of this year, the complaint was also filed on the women's helpline. The police have been given till July 21 to address the matter involving the well-known cricket player, and the Circle Officer (CO) of Indirapuram has been instructed to submit a report.
According to the FIR, the woman stated that she and Yash Dayal had dated for five years. She said that he made false promises of marriage while abusing her physically and mentally. The woman further said that Dayal convinced her to believe him at first when he presented her to his family and pretended to be her husband.
“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 realized 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 complaint stated.
Additionally, the woman claimed that Dayal stole money from her while they were dating. She further asserted that he had previously acted similarly toward other women. She provided screenshots, video call logs, chat messages, and pictures as evidence of the alleged abuse and the relationship.
“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.
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,” the FIR statement further read.
As of now, there has been no official response from Yash Dayal or his team. Dayal is from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. He plays for the UP team in domestic cricket.
