Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal is in legal difficulties after a woman from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, accused him of exploitation and harassment based on a fraudulent promise of marriage. The charges, which include mental, physical, and financial abuse, were formally filed through the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s online grievance system (IGRS), and the CM’s office has instructed the Ghaziabad police to look into the case.

Accusations on Yash Dayal

The woman, reportedly in a five-year relationship with the 27-year-old cricketer, has claimed that Dayal misled her with the assurance of marriage. According to her statement filed in the First Information Report (FIR), she was emotionally, mentally, and physically exploited. She alleged that Dayal introduced her to his family, presented her as his would-be wife, and made her trust him completely.

However, the woman, whose identity is not yet known, confronted Dayal only to be met with alleged physical violence and continued mental harassment. The complaint also states that Dayal borrowed money from her on several occasions during their relationship and never returned it. She further accused him of engaging in similar exploitative relationships with other women in the past, according to India Today.

Proofs provided against RCB pacer

The woman has submitted proof to support her allegations, including chat logs, screenshots, video call records, and photographs. She initially approached the Women’s Helpline (181) on June 14, 2025, but claimed that no substantial progress was made at the police station level. With no developments, she escalated the matter to the Chief Minister’s office. The Chief Minister’s office has now sought a report from the Circle Officer (CO) of Indirapuram, and the police have been given a deadline of July 21 to complete their inquiry.

The cricketer, a native of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, has represented the state in all domestic forms and made headlines during the IPL 2025 by playing a key role in RCB’s historic title-winning campaign, taking 13 wickets in 15 innings. Prior to joining RCB, he spent two seasons with the Gujarat Titans. Currently, neither Dayal nor any of his representatives have issued an official response to the charges.
