Repeat Offender

And because the girl was 17 when the instance happened for the first time hence the cricketer has been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Now, that is the worry as the cricketer could be in serious trouble because he has been booked under the POSCO Act. This fresh incident comes to light days after the Allahabad High Court recently stayed Dayal's arrest in connection with an FIR against him for allegedly sexually exploiting another woman. 

Anil Jaiman, the Station House Officer (SHO) of the Sanganer Sadar Police Station claimed that the minor girl got in touch with the Dayal because of cricket.

In fact, the report also goes on to claim that Dayal called the girl to Jaipur during their game against Rajasthan during IPL 2025. After abuse for over two years, the minor finally registered a complain against Dayal on Thursday.
