Tennis player Radhika Yadav was murdered by her father. According to her friend Himanshika, Radhika faced strict restrictions at home. The 'Love Jihad' angle is a rumor; the real reason was family pressure.
Radhika Murder Case: A new turn has emerged in the murder case of tennis player Radhika Yadav, as her close friend Himanshika Singh released a video on social media, speaking about the gravity of the situation. Himanshika claimed that Radhika's murder was not solely due to external reasons, but was the result of a prolonged struggle within the family. She stated that Radhika's freedom and creativity were not being accepted by her family, especially her father, Deepak Yadav.
Radhika's Parents Were Disturbed by Her Creativity
Himanshika mentioned that Radhika loved making videos and shooting. Regarding a viral commercial video, she said that it was shot about a year and a half ago, and Radhika's father himself had dropped her off at the shooting location that day. Despite this, Radhika's creative pursuits were gradually restricted.
Parents Lived in Fear of Society
According to Himanshika, Radhika's parents were greatly influenced by societal perceptions. They always worried about what people would say. This was the reason why they imposed restrictions on Radhika's freedom from time to time. They didn't allow Radhika to make her own decisions freely, and this was mentally affecting her.
Doubts About Radhika's Personal Life Are Baseless
Recently, there have been talks of linking Radhika's murder to 'Love Jihad'. Himanshika bly opposed this, saying that it was just a rumor and had no truth to it. She clarified that Radhika did not have any such relationship with anyone. She spoke to very few people and spent most of her time on sports and with her family.
“She Even Had to Give Explanations on Video Calls”
Himanshika said that Radhika even had to prove on video calls that she was talking to the right person. Even when she visited Radhika's house, she observed that the atmosphere at her home was very controlled and strict. This was having a deep impact on Radhika's mental state.
Radhika's Identity Was in Her Tennis Career and Coaching
Radhika was an international-level tennis player. She played tennis for about 18 years and also gave coaching at an academy. Himanshika said that Radhika's students liked her very much and she was a wonderful person. Her academy was only 15 minutes away from home, but she was strictly instructed to reach home on time.
Radhika Was Living in a Suffocating Environment
In the video, Himanshika said that Radhika had been troubled by the home environment for quite some time. She had to give explanations for everything. What to talk about, to whom to talk to, what to wear, where to go – questions were always raised on all these matters. This constant surveillance was becoming unbearable for her.
The 'Love Jihad' Angle Has Been Fabricated; There is No Proof
Himanshika completely dismissed the 'Love Jihad' angle that has come up in this case. She said that it is just an attempt to create a social narrative, so that the attention is diverted from the real reasons. Radhika was never seen talking to anyone personally.
