UPCA Bars Yash Dayal From UP T20 League Over Dual Sexual Assault FIRs

The ban follows divergent court rulings on his two sexual assault cases, with a hearing set for August 22 to assess his arrest risk.

Overview

  • The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association has prohibited Dayal from the UP T20 League, canceling his ₹7 lakh contract with Gorakhpur Lions.
  • Dayal faces two separate FIRs: an adult sexual exploitation case in Ghaziabad and a POCSO case in Jaipur alleging repeated assault of a minor.
  • The Allahabad High Court granted him interim protection in the Ghaziabad matter, while the Rajasthan High Court denied relief in the Jaipur case, exposing him to possible arrest.
  • Investigators are reviewing chat logs, screenshots, video recordings and witness statements as they build their cases.
  • His next court hearing on August 22 will determine whether he remains protected or faces arrest in the Jaipur POCSO case.
