Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal is facing serious allegations from a woman residing in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, who claims to have been in a relationship with him for the past five years. The 27-year-old cricketer is accused of emotional, mental, and physical exploitation under the false pretense of marriage.

The woman initially filed a police complaint on June 14, 2025, but alleges that no action was taken. Subsequently, she turned to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's online grievance portal, IGRS, seeking justice. The Chief Minister's Office (CMO) responded by requesting a report from the Circle Officer (CO) of Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, setting a deadline of July 21 for the police to act on the complaint.

According to reports, the woman's FIR states that Dayal introduced her to his family and acted like a husband, leading her to believe in his commitment. However, she alleges that when she realized the deception and protested, she was subjected to physical violence and mental harassment. The woman also claims that Dayal financially and emotionally exploited her during their relationship.

Further accusations have surfaced, with the woman alleging that Dayal had multiple affairs during their four-and-a-half years together and used his money, fame, and power to cover up the case. She stated that her suspicions about Dayal's infidelity were confirmed when another woman contacted her on April 17, 2025, providing evidence of Dayal cheating and communicating with multiple women. The woman claims to be aware of Dayal having affairs with at least three other women.

In a statement reported by Dainik Bhaskar, the woman revealed, "I stayed at Yash Dayal's house for 15 days. He even took me on a trip to Ooty. I have been at his home many times, and have spent time with his family". She further accused Dayal and his family of giving her false hope by assuring her of marriage. The woman also stated that Dayal has attempted to manipulate the case with money, but she has faith in the legal system.

The woman claims to possess chat records, screenshots, video calls, and photos as evidence to support her allegations. She also alleges that Dayal took money from her, a practice she claims he has repeated with other women. She had contacted the women's helpline on June 14, 2025, but says the matter did not progress at the police station.

Dayal, a left-arm fast-medium bowler, represents Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League. He was part of the RCB squad that won the IPL 2025 title. He also received his maiden call-up to the Indian national team for the Test Series against Bangladesh during September-October 2024.
