RCB Bowler Yash Dayal's Bail Plea Rejected in Rape Case
Yash Dayal, a cricket player for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, is in big trouble.
A court in Jaipur said no to his request to avoid arrest.
A young girl said Dayal hurt her and promised to help her cricket career.
The court looked at messages and pictures from her phone and thinks Dayal might have done wrong things.
Dayal hasn't played cricket since the big final last year.
Many people are upset that his team kept him even after these serious problems.
Yash Dayal's anticipatory bail plea was rejected by a Jaipur POCSO court.
He is accused of raping and sexually exploiting a minor girl over two-and-a-half years.
The court found evidence, including chat messages and photos, suggesting his involvement.
Dayal allegedly blackmailed the minor emotionally and promised to help her cricket career.
RCB retained Dayal for IPL 2026, facing criticism from fans for their decision.
