Radhika Yadav Murder: The autopsy report of Tennis player Radhika Yadav, who was killed by her father, reveals that she was shot four times. Radhika, a 25-year-old promising national-level Tennis player, was shot dead at her two-storey home in Gurugram's Sector 57 on Thursday (July 10).
The incident took place in the kitchen of her residence at aroound 10:30 am when she was cooking food as it was her mother's birthday.
Dr Deepak Mathur, one of the doctors in the team that performed the postmortem said, "The postmortem of the deceased tennis player is completed. Four bullets were taken out of Radhika Yadav's body".
The police investigation and the accused Deepak's confession made revelations about the contention between the father-daughter duo. Radhika ran a Tennis academy on which her father was unhappy.
The 51-year-old father asked her to shut the academy to which she refused which led to bitterness between them, Assistant Commissioner of police Yashwant Yadav said.
"He wanted her to shut down the academy, but she refused. He finally shot her dead over the same dispute,” he said. Deepak was unhappy with her daughter over the academy because people used to taunt him for living on her daughter's income. Deepak reportedly had an income of Rs 17 lakh per month from various sources. He wanted her daughter to shut the academy as he didn't have any financial stress, and Radhika could have lived her life happily with what he earned.
News agency PTI quoted sources saying Deepak confessed to killing her daughter as he was taunted for living on her daughter's income. In an official statement, the police claimed that the tennis academy Radhika ran was the bone of contention between the father and the daughter. "Radhika used to run a tennis academy, and her father was not happy with it," Gurugram police spokesperson Sandeep Singh said. Every other reason apart from the tennis academy is a rumour, and no such thing has come forward during the investigation, the police said.
Radhika's mother, Manju Yadav, has refused to give a statement to the police, stating that she was suffering from fever and had not seen anything, as mentioned in the FIR.
