Fresh controversy has engulfed Royal Challengers Bengaluru fast bowler Yash Dayal as a woman from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, has leveled new allegations against him, deepening the ongoing legal and public scrutiny around the 27-year-old cricketer. The woman, who had earlier accused Dayal of emotional, mental, and physical exploitation under the guise of marriage, has now made further claims of betrayal, manipulation, and deceit.
In a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the woman shared that she was in a relationship with Dayal for over four and a half years. During this time, she alleged, he not only misled her with marriage assurances but also took her on a trip to Ooty and let her stay with him at his residence for 15 days. She claimed that she frequently visited his home and spent time with his family, all while being reassured that their relationship would end in marriage.
“Yash Dayal and his family kept raising hopes by giving assurance of marriage,” she said, adding that she was deeply embedded in his personal life. However, the woman now alleges that this trust was betrayed and that Dayal was involved with multiple other women during the same period.
On April 17, 2025, another woman reportedly reached out to her with what she claims is proof that Dayal was cheating and in touch with several other women. This revelation, according to the complainant, confirmed her suspicions that Dayal had affairs with at least three other women. “I could have walked away, but how would I know he was cheating? He never showed it,” she said.
In addition to the allegations of infidelity, the woman has accused Yash Dayal of attempting to manipulate the situation using his financial influence and fame. “Yash Dayal has made attempts to manipulate the case with money, but I have full faith in the law,” she stated, asserting that a police notice has already been issued to the pacer.
Her decision to pursue legal action, she said, came after Dayal and his family allegedly began speaking negatively about her. “There is a thing called self-respect in love, which girls lose,” she remarked. “I am also fighting for the little girl with whom Yash Dayal did wrong. Yash Dayal is hiding, let him stay hidden. This is what his family and he have done.”
What is the Yash Dayal controversy?
Reports emerged on Saturday that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer has been accused of accused of sexual harassment, mental and physical assault by a woman in Uttar Pradesh.
The complainant stated that she later found out Dayal was involved in similar misleading relationships with other women, and this prompted her to take legal action. She initially tried to report the incident by calling the women's helpline (181) on June 14, 2025, but the process did not advance at the local police station.
Feeling helpless financially and socially, the woman directly approached the Chief Minister’s office for justice with proof and urged the authorities to take swift action and ensure the accused is punished under the law.
