In a significant interim relief, the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday stayed the arrest of Royal Challengers Bengaluru fast bowler Yash Dayal. The court’s order came in response to a plea filed by Dayal, after an FIR was registered against him on July 6 at Indirapuram police station in Ghaziabad. The charges fall under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), dealing with sexual relations obtained through deception. A bench of Justices Siddharth Varma and Anil Kumar presided over the matter. During the hearing, the judges remarked, “You could have been fooled for 1 day, 2 day, 3 day…but 5 years…you are entering into a relationship for 5 years…one can’t be fooled for 5 years." The court listed the matter for a future date and restricted police action until then. The complaint alleged that Dayal had been in a relationship with the woman for five years, making repeated promises of marriage while allegedly continuing to be involved with others.
