The Rajasthan High Court has decided against halting the arrest of Indian cricketer Yash Dayal, who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Yash Dayal is facing serious accusations in a rape case involving a minor girl.
During a recent court session held in Jaipur, Justice Sudesh Bansal made it clear that no temporary relief or protection from arrest could be given to Yash Dayal because the case involves a minor, which makes it especially sensitive under the law.
No relief for Yash Dayal in rape case involving minor as Rajasthan High Court denied interim bail
The judge has called for the case diary to review all the records and evidence related to the matter. The next hearing in the Rajasthan High Court has been scheduled for August 22.
On the other hand, the RCB fast bowler’s lawyer, Kunal Jaiman, argued in court that this case is part of a bigger conspiracy to damage the cricketer’s image.
He also mentioned that a similar complaint had been filed earlier in Ghaziabad, but that case was put on hold by the Allahabad High Court.
As reported by News18 Cricketnext, Yash Dayal’s lawyer said, “Just seven days after that, another FIR was registered in Jaipur. A gang seems to be involved in blackmailing by filing such cases.”
Despite the defense’s claims, the Rajasthan High Court decided to take this matter sensitively and did not grant any interim protection, mainly because a minor girl is involved in this serious case.

Sanganer Police make explosive revelations on the Yash Dayal case
Meanwhile, the Sanganer police station in-charge, Anil Jaiman, has shared detailed information about this case involving cricketer Yash Dayal in Jaipur. According to the police, the complainant was a minor at the time of the first incident.
She met Dayal during a cricket event and later accused him of sexually assaulting her under the pretext of helping her pursue a career in cricket. This alleged assault took place about two years ago. The police further stated that Dayal allegedly raped the girl again in a hotel located in Sitapura, Jaipur, during the IPL 2025 season.
He had invited her to his room, where the second incident reportedly occurred. Since the girl was 17 years old during the first alleged assault, the FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Yash Dayal's RCB journey in the IPL
This is not the first time Dayal has been involved in controversy. Two years ago, the RCB pacer faced criticism for allegedly posting communal content on his Instagram account.
Notably, Dayal’s journey with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL was all about bounce-back and determination. After a tough moment in 2023, when he was hit for five sixes in a row by Rinku Singh, he worked hard to improve.
With help from Josh Hazlewood and support from Virat Kohli, he got better at bowling in pressure situations, especially in the death overs. He ended the IPL 2024 season with 15 wickets and then scalped 13 wickets in this season to help RCB lift their maiden title.
