Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast bowler has reportedly been barred from featuring in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh T20 League over an alleged sexual exploitation case. The left-arm pacer's personal life has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the last few weeks after a sexual exploitation case was filed against him last month.
With no conclusion yet from the court proceedings, the turmoil in his personal life is having a negative impact on his career.
Bought by Gorakhpur Lions in the UP T20 League for Rs 7 lakh in this year's auction, Dayal has reportedly been barred from competing in the T20 tournament, as per a Dainik Jagran report, which revealed that Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) will not alllow Dayal to play in the league due to the cases registered against him.
After the pacer was accused of rape by a girl from Ghaziabad, an FIR was registered on July 6 at the Indirapuram police station in Ghaziabad district under Section 69 (Sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means etc.) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). He was accused of sexually exploiting a woman on the pretext of marriage.
While the report states that UPCA has barred the pacer from playing in the UP T20 league, Vishesh Gaur, the owner of Gaur Sons, which owns the Gorakhpur Lions, said that no such communication has been passed on to the team by the state cricket body.
In reply to the FIR, Dayal submitted a petition which said that a person can be accused of an offence under Section 69 of BNS only if it is established that he makes a promise to marry a woman without any intention to fulfil it. He sought a stay of his arrest while rubbishing the FIR registered against him.
As per the complainant, she met Dayal around five years ago, and the cricketer had promised to marry her. The woman further claimed that Dayal had delayed her proposal to marry several times before she discovered the cricketer was also involved with other women.
