Tennis coach Radhika Yadav was shot and killed in Gurugram. The accused is her father. The motive: a dispute over her profession and dissatisfaction with her rising popularity.
Haryana: The Radhika Yadav murder case in Gurugram has shocked the entire nation. Deepak Yadav, the main accused in this incident and the deceased's father, has been arrested by the police. The investigation is revealing several shocking details, including the simmering resentment within the father, social pressure, and the impact of his daughter's increasing popularity.
From Police Remand to Judicial Custody
The police questioned Deepak Yadav in custody for several days. On Friday, after his remand period ended, he was presented in court, where he was sent to 14 days of judicial custody. The police are now trying to uncover the psychological and social reasons behind the incident.
The Uncle's Shocking Statement
Radhika's uncle, Vijay Yadav, stated that immediately after the incident, when he reached upstairs upon hearing the gunshot, Deepak was crying and saying, "Brother, the female infanticide has happened! Get me hanged." Vijay Yadav immediately informed the police and suspected that Deepak might commit suicide. He went to the police station and clearly told the officers to keep an eye on Deepak.
Tension and Clash of Self-Esteem within the Family
During interrogation, Deepak Yadav revealed that he had been in depression for a long time. He felt that he was subjected to taunts from society because of Radhika. He was also uncomfortable with the fact that Radhika was increasing the family's income through tennis training and considered herself a star.
Displeasure with Music Videos and Social Media Activity
Radhika's increasing social media presence, participation in music videos, and popularity were irking her father, Deepak. The police suspect that this mental stress was the cause of the murder. Deepak had asked Radhika several times to stop all this, but when she refused, he took this horrific step.
Details of the Incident and Post-mortem Report
At the time of the incident, only Deepak, his wife Manju, and Radhika were present on the first floor of the house. Radhika's uncle, Kuldeep Yadav, said that when they heard the gunshot at 10:30 in the morning and went upstairs, Radhika was lying in the kitchen covered in blood, and a revolver was lying nearby. The post-mortem report revealed that Radhika was shot four times from very close range.
The Uncle Filed the Case
Radhika's uncle, Kuldeep Yadav, filed the FIR against Deepak Yadav. He told the police that he saw Radhika covered in blood and immediately took her to the hospital, but it was too late. The police are also investigating how many bullets were in the licensed revolver used in the incident.
The Father Objected to the Tennis Training
Gurugram police informed that Radhika was a professional tennis player and used to train children. However, she didn't have her own academy. She used to book tennis courts on rent and coach children. Deepak objected to this. He wanted Radhika to stop this work. This disagreement had become a major cause of conflict between the two.
