HC Denies Relief to Yash Dayal in Minor’s Rape Case

Jaipur: The Rajasthan High Court has refused to stay the arrest of cricketer Yash Dayal, a fast bowler for the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), in a case related to the alleged rape of a minor girl. The court stated that since the victim is a minor, no interim protection can be granted to the accused cricketer from arrest. Justice Sudesh Bansal, while presiding over the matter in Jaipur, also summoned the case diary and listed the next hearing for August 22.

During the hearing, Yash Dayal's lawyer, Kunal Jaiman, argued that the case was part of a larger conspiracy to defame the cricketer.

He claimed that a similar rape case had earlier been filed in Ghaziabad, which was stayed by the Allahabad High Court.

"Just seven days after that, another FIR was registered in Jaipur. A gang seems to be involved in blackmailing by filing such cases," Yash Dayal's lawyer alleged. IANS
