In a shocking development that has sent ripples across the cricketing world, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal has been booked by Ghaziabad police in a rape case. The serious allegations come barely weeks after the young cricketer played a crucial role in RCB’s triumphant IPL 2025 win against Punjab Kings, a victory that ended the franchise’s long wait for a title.

According to the complaint filed by a woman from Ghaziabad, the two were in a relationship for five years, during which she claims Dayal repeatedly exploited her physically and mentally under the false promise of marriage. The FIR, which was initially registered through the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s online grievance portal, has now led to formal police action under BNS Section 69, about sexual intercourse by deceitful means, including false promises of marriage.

The woman, in her detailed statement to authorities, revealed that Dayal not only assured her of marriage but also introduced her to his family, who allegedly accepted her as their future daughter-in-law. She claims she invested herself wholeheartedly in the relationship, only to be left heartbroken and shattered by betrayal and emotional trauma.

Supporting her allegations with chat screenshots, video call recordings, and photographs, the woman has also accused the cricketer of infidelity and emotional manipulation. She further stated that the distress caused by the alleged betrayal pushed her into depression and even led her to attempt suicide multiple times.

On the field, Yash Dayal had an impressive season with RCB, picking up 13 wickets in 15 matches. His bowling spells, especially during the tense knockout stages, were hailed as game-changers. The team’s fairytale run ended with them lifting the IPL trophy after defeating Punjab Kings in a thrilling final, an emotional moment for both players and fans.

However, the recent accusations have cast a shadow over Dayal’s career, and the cricketing fraternity is now watching closely as investigations unfold. Neither Dayal nor RCB has issued a public statement yet, but this controversy is bound to impact the player’s journey, both on and off the pitch.
