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.

Rhode Island: Frank Caprio, the Rhode Island judge whose compassionate courtroom manner made him a global sensation, passed away on August 20 at the age of 88.
His death after “a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer” was announced through a statement on his Instagram account.
Widely known as “world’s Nicest Judge,” Caprio rose to international prominence through the television show Caught in Providence, which aired from 2000 and became an internet phenomenon years later. Clips of his empathetic judgments, often laced with humor, warmth, and kindness, attracted millions of viewers on social media, earning him a devoted following worldwide.
Born on November 24, 1936, Caprio served as a municipal judge in Providence from 1985 until his retirement in 2023. His courtroom became a symbol of compassion in justice. His most popular videos have been those where he calls children to the bench to help pass judgement on their parents.
“Beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people, Judge Caprio touched the lives of millions through his work in the courtroom and beyond,” his family wrote in their tribute. “His warmth, humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him.”
With nearly 3.5 million followers on his personal Instagram account and over 16 million on the show’s official page, he used his platform to highlight systemic issues such as the lack of equal access to the judicial system. In one video, he remarked, “The phrase, ‘With liberty and justice for all’ represents the idea that justice should be accessible to everyone. However, it is not.”
Even in the final years of his life, Caprio remained an advocate for fairness. Reflecting on his approach to the bench, he said in 2017: “I hope that people will take away that the institutions of government can function very well by exercising kindness, fairness, and compassion in their deliberations. We live in a very contentious society. I would hope that people will see that we can dispense justice without being oppressive.”
On social media platformX, Gov. Dan McKee called Caprio a “Rhode Island treasure” and ordered that flags in the state be flown at half-mast in his honor.
