RCB star accused of sexual harassment; woman files FIR and seeks UP CM's intervention: Reports

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal has recently been accused of sexual harassment after the conclusion of IPL 2025. A woman reportedly registered a complaint against the left-arm pacer and filed an FIR for mentally and physically exploiting her.

She initially reported it on the women’s helpline on June 14 before filing a complaint on the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's online grievance portal. The FIR stated that the woman was in a relationship with Yash Dayal, and he misled her by promising marriage while exploiting her emotionally and physically. The FIR read (via India Today):

"For the past 5 years, the complainant had been in a relationship with the cricketer. 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. When the complainant realized the deception and protested, she was subjected to physical violence and mental harassment. During the relationship, the complainant was also exploited financially and emotionally."

The Woman also disclosed that Yash Dayal was involved in similar relationships with a few other girls. The statement continued:

"Later, it was found that the man was involved in similar false relationships with other girls too. On June 14, 2025, the complainant called the women's helpline 181, but the process did not move forward at the police station. The complainant is mentally and socially distressed, and is seeking justice through the Chief Minister’s office."

The complainant revealed that she has chat records, screenshots, and photos to present as evidence and requested a swift investigation into the matter.

"She has chat records, screenshots, video calls, and photos as evidence. 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."
