Indian cricketer Yash Dayal has been hit with disturbing allegations by a woman from Ghaziabad, who claims he sexually exploited her, subjected her to physical violence, and deceived her with false promises of marriage over five years. The accuser says Dayal even introduced her to his family to gain her trust before allegedly turning abusive and financially exploiting her. An FIR has been filed under Section 69 of the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, marking a serious legal escalation.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another celebrity scandal—it’s a high-profile #MeToo moment in Indian cricket, where allegations of abuse and exploitation are still relatively rare. If proven, it could derail Dayal’s career and spark wider conversations about accountability in sports. For now, it’s a stark reminder of how power imbalances can enable exploitation, even behind the glamour of fame.
