Rajasthan High Court Declines Interim Protection For Cricketer Yash Dayal In Minor Rape Case
The Rajasthan High Court has declined to grant interim protection from arrest to Indian cricketer Yash Dayal, currently associated with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), in connection with an alleged rape case involving a minor girl. Justice Sudesh Bansal, presiding over the matter in Jaipur, stated that since the alleged victim was a minor at the time of the incident, no interim relief could be provided. The court also summoned the case diary and scheduled the next hearing for August 22. During the hearing, Kunal Jaiman, counsel for Yash Dayal, argued that the case was part of a larger conspiracy aimed at tarnishing the cricketer's image. He pointed out that a similar case had earlier been filed in Ghaziabad, which had been stayed by the Allahabad High Court. 'Just seven days after that, another FIR was filed in Jaipur. It appears to be the work of a gang involved in blackmail through such allegations,' Jaiman told the court. However, Anil Jaiman, Station House Officer (SHO) of Sanganer police station, provided details of the Jaipur case, stating that the complaint was lodged by a girl who was a minor at the time of the initial incident. According to the police, the girl met Yash Dayal during a cricket event and accused him of sexually assaulting her under the guise of offering help in pursuing a cricket career. The complainant further alleged that Dayal raped her a second time in a hotel in Sitapura, Jaipur, during the IPL 2025 season after calling her to his room. As the girl was 17 years old during the first incident, an FIR was filed under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. This is not the first time Yash Dayal has been in the spotlight for controversy. In the past, he was criticized for allegedly sharing communal content via his Instagram account. Dayal had clarified that while two objectionable stories were shared from his account, he did not personally upload them.

'If Courts Won't Decide Who...': BJP Hits Back At Gandhis After Priyanka Defends Rahul
Amit Malviya's remarks came after Priyanka Gandhi backed her brother Rahul after the Supreme Court's rebuke. Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Malviya on Wednesday attacked the Gandhi family and said that they should not be allowed to think they are above the judiciary. The statement came as he critiqued Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for her comments against the Supreme Court's observations regarding her brother Rahul Gandhi's alleged remarks about the Indian Army. Taking to X, BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya wrote, 'If the Courts won't decide who is national and who is anti-national, then who will? The smug entitlement of the Gandhi family is not just baffling – it reeks of contempt for the judiciary." 'This brazen defiance is a direct challenge to the authority of the Supreme Court and cannot go unchecked," he said, adding, 'The Court must take suo motu cognisance, just as it did in the case of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey. The law must apply equally to all. The Gandhis cannot be allowed to believe they are above it." If the Courts won't decide who is national and who is anti-national, then who will?The smug entitlement of the Gandhi family is not just baffling — it reeks of contempt for the judiciary.

'With due respect to the honourable judges of the Supreme Court, they do not decide who is a true Indian. It is the job of the opposition leader to question and challenge the government," the Wayanad MP said on Tuesday. On Monday, the Supreme Court halted the proceedings against Rahul in a Lucknow court over his comments on the army during his December 2022 Bharat Jodo Yatra. However, it criticised the Congress leader, stating that a 'true Indian" would not make such remarks. The bench questioned why he made such statements without any evidence, advising that if he was a true Indian, he would not say such things. Members of the opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc labelled the Supreme Court's observations against Rahul as 'unwarranted," emphasising that political parties have the responsibility to discuss national interest issues. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
