“The first incident (of rape) was in 2023, when she was 17. The most recent incident was in April 2025 in Jaipur,” the SHO jurisdictional police station said in the matter of latest charges about Dayal as reported by the news outlet the Indian Express.

As per the complainant, the first instance of rape happened in 2023 when she was 17-year-old. The latest instance occurred in April 2025 during the IPL where Jaipur hosted some matches in the tournament. This could be a major setback for Dayal and for his cricketing career which was finally started to get in line.

Earlier this month, Dayal was booked on the charges of rape after a woman accused her of abuse “emotionally, mentally, and physically” on the pretext of marriage. The Allahabad High Court, however, has put a stay on his arrest in the matter. The complainant, in her FIR, alleged that she was "in a relationship with cricketer Yash Dayal for the past five years." According to her, Dayal "repeatedly made false promises of marriage" and "formed physical relations under that pretext."

She also allegedly called the women's helpline 181 but claimed that her case did not move forward at the police station level so she forwarded the case to the office of the Chief Minister.
