Indian fast bowler Yash Dayal is currently caught in the middle of two serious legal cases involving rape allegations. The latest complaint was filed in Jaipur, just two weeks after an earlier FIR was registered against him in Ghaziabad. Both cases present a deeply troubling picture and have sparked widespread attention across the country.
First FIR: Ghaziabad Allegations
The controversy began when a woman from Ghaziabad accused Yash Dayal of sexual exploitation. According to her, the two were in a relationship for almost five years, during which Dayal allegedly promised marriage, introduced her to his family, and maintained regular contact. Over time, she claims she was physically and emotionally exploited, only to find out about his involvement with other women.
The woman filed an FIR under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with consent obtained under false pretenses, especially promises of marriage. The law carries a potential punishment of up to 10 years in prison. She also submitted chats, documents, and a medical report to support her allegations.
In response, Yash Dayal filed a counter-complaint. He alleged that the woman stole his phone and laptop and borrowed large sums of money from him without repaying. He submitted evidence to back his claim and requested the police to take action against her.
The matter went to the Allahabad High Court, which granted Dayal interim protection from arrest. During the hearing, the court questioned the timeline, wondering how someone could be deceived for five years before deciding to take legal action.
Second FIR: Jaipur Minor Case
Just when it seemed like things were calming down, a fresh FIR surfaced this time from Jaipur. In this case, a minor girl has accused Yash Dayal of sexual assault. The complaint has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, which imposes stricter punishments in cases involving minors. The FIR was filed at Sanganeer police station, and a formal investigation has been launched.
Police have started collecting witness statements and medical reports. While Dayal’s statement has reportedly been recorded, his legal team has yet to issue a formal comment. Given the seriousness of the allegations, law enforcement officials are expected to proceed cautiously but firmly.
Current Status
At this point, Yash Dayal has not made any public statement addressing either of the two complaints. However, both cases are now active and progressing through legal channels. Investigating officers in both cities have begun working on gathering evidence, including digital proof and testimonies from people close to the situation.
The back-to-back allegations have severely impacted Dayal’s public image. He was recently hailed for his performances during the latest IPL season, playing a pivotal role in his team’s victory. But with these charges surfacing, attention has shifted away from his cricketing achievements to his personal conduct.
Fans and Media Reaction
Reactions online have been mixed. While some fans have expressed shock and disbelief, others have called for a fair investigation. The lack of a clear statement from Dayal or his cricketing franchise has only added to the speculation. For now, most media outlets are waiting for official updates from the police and the court system before drawing conclusions.
What Lies Ahead
The coming weeks will be crucial. As both FIRs are investigated simultaneously, more clarity is expected to emerge about the truth behind the claims. If proven guilty in either case, the consequences for Dayal could be severe legally, professionally, and personally.
