Overview

• Dayal’s petition requests the high court to nullify the non-bailable FIR filed under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and to grant a stay on his arrest.
• The FIR was registered on July 6 at Indirapuram Police Station following a June 21 grievance portal complaint accusing him of exploiting a woman through a false promise of marriage.
• In his writ, the RCB pacer denies any deceitful intent and argues that a broken promise does not constitute the criminal offence of sexual exploitation.
• Dayal filed a counter-complaint in Prayagraj alleging blackmail and theft, but local police have declined to register an FIR, citing the case’s Ghaziabad jurisdiction.
• Investigators are examining chat logs, screenshots, video call recordings and photographs submitted by the complainant ahead of the hearing expected next week.
