Ghaziabad: Indian pacer and Royal Challengers Bengaluru player Yash Dayal has been accused of emotional, physical, and financial exploitation by a woman who alleges he misled her with false promises of marriage. The woman, who claims to have been in a relationship with Dayal for five years, filed a formal complaint through the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s online grievance portal (IGRS) after allegedly receiving no adequate response at the police station level.
According to a report by India Today, the woman’s complaint prompted the CM’s office to seek a report from the Circle Officer (CO) of Indirapuram, with a July 21 deadline issued to Ghaziabad police for action. Hindustan Times could not independently verify the contents of the complaint.
The FIR filed by the complainant states, “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.”
She further alleges that when she confronted Dayal about his true intentions, he subjected her to physical assault and continued harassment. The complaint also includes accusations of financial exploitation during their relationship.
The woman claims to possess substantial evidence, including chat records, screenshots, video call logs, and photographs. She also alleges that Dayal has behaved similarly with other women, indicating a pattern of deceptive relationships.
“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 concludes.
Yash Dayal, who last played in the Indian Premier League 2025 season for RCB, has not yet issued any public statement regarding the allegations.
The investigation remains ongoing.
