According to the complaint, the woman alleged that she and Dayal became acquainted around five years ago. She claimed that Dayal engaged in a prolonged relationship with her on the assurance of marriage, but repeatedly postponed the commitment. She further alleged that she later discovered he was simultaneously involved with other women.

The initial complaint was filed on June 21 through the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s online grievance redressal portal (IGRS), leading to the registration of the FIR.
