After the murder, the accused father, Deepak Yadav, was arrested, and on Friday, the Gurugram court sentenced him to one day of police custody.

Incident Details: Shooting while cooking
Radhika Yadav (25) was shot in the waist by her father Deepak Yadav (54) while she was cooking on Thursday morning. According to the FIR, Deepak's licensed 32 bore revolver was found in the drawing room. Hearing the sound of gunfire, her uncle Kuldeep Yadav (46) and his son Piyush went upstairs, where they found Radhika lying in a pool of blood. They immediately took her to a private hospital, but the doctors declared her dead.
Background of stress revealed through WhatsApp chat
According to the information received, Radhika's WhatsApp chat revealed that she had openly discussed the stress in her personal life with her tennis coach. Radhika had written, “There are many restrictions here. I want to live my life and enjoy it. I am thinking of settling in Dubai or Australia, away from my family. I won't go to China because there are fewer food options there.” Her conversation made it clear that she was eager to make decisions about her own life. However, the confined and suspicious atmosphere at home was causing her significant mental stress.
Father's Mental Stress and Society's Taunts
In the police investigation, Deepak Yadav stated that he was constantly criticized in the village. "You live off your daughter's money... she earns money through wrong means," such rumors were being spread. He was very distressed by this humiliation. For the past three days, he had been contemplating suicide or killing his daughter.
Thrill of Murder from Academy Dispute
On Thursday morning, when Radhika raised the issue of going to the tennis academy, there was an argument with her father. Enraged by this argument, Deepak Yadav fired five shots. Four bullets were found in Radhika's body, and one bullet is still missing. The intensity of the shooting is evident from the wounds found on her body.
Jealous Nature and Unstable Mentality Became the Cause
The police stated that Deepak Yadav had a very jealous nature. He constantly questioned whom Radhika talked to and what she did. Radhika had tried to explain to him many times that she was not doing anything wrong, but his suspicions and nature were becoming uncontrollable. Ultimately, in this disturbed mental state, he killed her.
Radhika's Unfulfilled Dream and Ended Career
Radhika Yadav was a rising talent in the field of tennis. Her highest world ranking in the 'Girls Under-18' category was 75. She had participated in many competitions both in India and internationally. Due to her relentless hard work, she had established her identity in the sport. However, family tensions, her father's suspicious nature, and societal humiliation left this dream incomplete.
Police Investigation Begins, Demand for Justice
Gurugram police have arrested Deepak Yadav and obtained a one-day custody. Further investigation is rapidly underway. Radhika's murder has not only saddened the sports world but the entire nation. Many have paid tribute to her on social media and demanded justice for her.
