RCB Pacer Yash Dayal Accused Of Physical Violence, Exploitation On Pretext Of Marriage; Woman Files FIR In UP
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Indian pacer Yash Dayal has reportedly been accused by a woman of mental, emotional, and physical exploitation on the pretext of marriage. According to an India Today report, the woman who hails from Ghaziabad, has filed a complaint on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's online portal, IGRS. The report citing sources further mentioned that the Chief Minister's office has sought a report from the Circle Officer (CO) of Indirapuram, Ghaziabad. It added that the police have been given time until July 21 to resolve the complaint filed on IGRS. The girl had earlier lodged a complaint on the women's helpline on June 14, 2025. In her FIR, the woman alleged that she and Dayal have been together for five years, during which the cricketer exploited her both mentally and physically. The FIR added the RCB pacer had taken money from her during the relationship and he had done the same with many other women in the past. The woman also said that she had substantial evidence against Dayal in the form of chat records, screenshots, video calls and photos. "For the past 5 years, the complainant had been in a relationship with a cricketer. The man emotionally, mentally, and physically exploited her by misleading her with the promise of marriage. He introduced the complainant to his family and behaved like a husband, which made her trust him completely. When the complainant realized the deception and protested, she was subjected to physical violence and mental harassment. During the relationship, the complainant was also exploited financially and emotionally." "Later, it was found that the man was involved in similar false relationships with other girls too. On June 14, 2025, the complainant called the women's helpline 181, but the process did not move forward at the police station. The complainant is mentally and socially distressed, and is seeking justice through the Chief Minister's office. She has chat records, screenshots, video calls, and photos as evidence." "It has been requested that a swift investigation be conducted into the matter and that legal action be taken against the concerned individual. This step is not only important for her but also for all those girls who fall victim to such deceitful relationships," read the FIR statement. The 27-year-old Dayal, who played 15 matches for RCB during IPL 2025 and picked up 13 wickets, is yet to react to the allegations.

SEC updates US court on efforts to serve legal documents in Adani case
The defendants, who are based in India, are yet to be officially served. In a June 27 letter submitted to Magistrate Judge James R Cho of the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), the SEC said it is continuing to pursue formal service of the summons and complaint under the provisions of the Hague Service Convention. New York, Jun 27 (PTI) The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a status update with a federal court in New York, detailing its ongoing efforts to serve legal documents to billionaire Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar in connection with a civil securities case filed last year. US SEC has to serve the summons to Adani Group founder and chairman Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar in the alleged USD 265 million payoffs to win lucrative renewable power supply contracts, through proper diplomatic channels as it has no jurisdiction to summon a foreign national directly. The SEC originally filed the complaint on November 20, 2024, alleging that two violated US securities laws by making false and misleading statements related to a September 2021 bond offering by Adani Green Energy Ltd. According to the SEC, Rule 4 (f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governs service in foreign jurisdictions and permits the use of international treaties, such as the Hague Convention. The rule does not impose a specific time limit for service, provided reasonable efforts are being made. PTI ANZ BAL BAL This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
