Yash Dayal, Uttar Pradesh and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer, finds himself in deep trouble. He has been charged with sexual exploitation, physical abuse, mental harassment, and defrauding by making false marriage promises under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Sexual activities committed under false pretenses, such as deceptive promises of marriage or employment offers, are included in Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. These behaviors are punishable by up to ten years in prison and are regarded as fraudulent and exploitative.
According to the complaint, the woman from Ghaziabad stated that she and Dayal had been together for five years. She further asserted that Dayal strengthened her trust by introducing her to his family, who accepted her as a "daughter-in-law."
"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,” the FIR statement read.
During the relationship, the complainant was also exploited financially and emotionally.
“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 statement read.
