Meanwhile, the Allahabad High Court has stayed Dayal’s arrest in the alleged sexual exploitation case filed against him in Ghaziabad. The court also asked the police to refrain from any coercive action until the next hearing.

In the first complaint, the woman has alleged that she met Dayal around five years ago, and he had promised to marry her. However, he kept postponing the marriage, and she later learned that he was allegedly involved with other women.

Dayal was part of the RCB team that won the IPPL in 2025.
