RCB fast bowler Yash Dayal faces serious legal trouble after a Jaipur POCSO court rejected his anticipatory bail plea ahead of IPL 2026
A Jaipur POCSO court rejected Yash Dayal’s anticipatory bail in a sexual assault case involving a minor, intensifying legal pressure on the cricketer
Reports suggest the court found no signs of false implication, with interrogation still pending and arrest possible
The case was registered in July 2025 after a woman alleged sexual assault dating back to 2023, when she was a minor, under the POCSO Act
Dayal can still approach the High Court for relief. For now, he has remained away from competitive cricket amid the investigation
Despite the controversy, RCB retained Yash Dayal for IPL 2026 after signing him for ₹5 crore, backing his on-field performances last season
