A Jaipur POCSO court has rejected the anticipatory bail plea of cricketer Yash Dayal in an alleged rape case involving a minor. The court cited the seriousness of the allegations and the victim's statement, deeming pre-arrest bail inappropriate before investigation. Dayal's defense argued the relationship was consensual and the allegations false, while the prosecution highlighted the involvement of a minor. This legal development casts uncertainty on Dayal's professional cricket career, with his IPL franchise facing scrutiny.
