Rajasthan HC Rejects Yash Dayal’s Plea in Minor Rape Case, Arrest Likely Soon

In a major development, the Rajasthan High Court has rejected the plea of cricketer Yash Dayal for protection from arrest. The fast bowler, who is facing serious charges of raping a minor, is now likely to be arrested soon.

The Court's Decision

The Rajasthan High Court denied any relief to Yash Dayal. The court's decision was based on the fact that the case involves a minor victim. 

Justice Sudesh Bansal said that since the alleged incident first took place when the survivor was a minor, protection from arrest cannot be given at this stage. The court has asked the police to submit all case details and will hear the matter again on August 22.

Background of the Case

A case was filed against Yash Dayal at the Sanganer Sadar police station in Jaipur. The complaint was from a girl who claimed Dayal raped her two years ago when she was 17. She said Dayal promised to help her with her cricketing career in exchange for sexual favors. 

A second incident is also alleged to have happened during the IPL 2025 season in Jaipur. The case has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Previous Allegations

This is the second case against Yash Dayal. Earlier, a similar complaint was filed against him in Ghaziabad by a different woman. She had accused him of sexual exploitation on the promise of marriage. 

In that case, the Allahabad High Court had granted him a stay on his arrest. Dayal's lawyers have said he is being blackmailed by a group filing false cases against him.

Conclusion

The Rajasthan High Court's decision not to grant relief to Yash Dayal means that he is now at risk of being arrested. The next step will be the police investigation and the court hearing on August 22.
