RCB star accused of harassment, exploitation on pretext of marriage

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal has been accused of exploitation on the pretext of marriage by a woman from Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad. A complaint has been lodged through the online grievance portal, IGRS, reported ANI.

The woman, in her complaint, has alleged that she was in a relationship with the cricketer from the last five years, during which she was exploited mentally, emotionally and physically.

"For the last five years, the complainant was 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 as their daughter-in-law, which made her trust him completely," the complaint stated.


The woman accused that the 27-year-old physically and mentally harassed her when confronted. "During the relationship, the complainant was made emotionally and financially dependent on him. Later, she found that the man was involved in similar relationships with other women as well," the complaint said.

She further claimed to have contacted the women's helpline number on June 14 but alleged that the matter did not progress at the police station level. Owing to financial and social helplessness, she turned to the Chief Minister's office seeking justice.

"She has chats, screenshots, video calls, and photos as evidence," it added.

"The request is to investigate this matter promptly and impartially, and to take legal action against the accused. This step is important not only for her, but also for all girls who fall victim to such relationships," it concluded.

Notably, Yash Dayal was part of RCB's historic IPL 2025 title win earlier this month, taking 13 wickets in 15 matches. He has represented Uttar Pradesh in all domestic formats and is yet to make his India debut.
