Difficult times for Dayal in the last few months
However, despite the happiness of his recent marriage and the success of the 2025 IPL season, the last several months have been the most challenging times of Dayal’s life.

Dayal was accused of sexual harassment and “sexual intercourse by means of fraud”, leading to FIRs being filed in Ghaziabad and Jaipur. The allegations included claims of exploitation under the pretext of marriage, which sparked an intense public scrutiny and a period of legal battles.
