Allahabad High Court Stays Arrest of Cricketer Yash Dayal Over Sexual Harassment Allegations

The Allahabad High Court has stayed the arrest of cricketer Yash Dayal, who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, in a case filed under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with sexual intercourse through deceitful means.

 An FIR was registered on July 6 at Indirapuram Police Station, Ghaziabad, accusing Dayal of sexually exploiting a woman over five years by falsely promising marriage.

The complainant claimed he repeatedly delayed the marriage and was involved with other women.

The Court granted interim protection, questioning the five-year delay in reporting the alleged deceit, and listed the case for a future hearing.
