Tennis player Radhika Yadav shot dead by father over family dispute; yadav confesses to crime

Digital Desk: A shocking incident occurred Thursday in Gurugram when Radhika Yadav, a 25-year-old national-level tennis player, was shot dead by her father, Deepak Yadav, allegedly over a disagreement about her income and professional independence. Around ten in the morning, the murder took place at their home in Sushant Lok Phase 2.

Police claim that Radhika's ownership of her own tennis academy infuriated Deepak Yadav. According to reports, he felt his dignity was damaged by comments made by villagers that implied he was reliant on his daughter's income.

Radhika began the academy after suffering a shoulder injury that ended her playing career. In a time when parents are proud of their daughters for earning and receiving recognition, such a terrible crime has now shaken people.

On the morning of the incident, Deepak allegedly used his licensed. 32-bore revolver to shoot his daughter five times. Three bullets killed Radhika. After being rushed to Asia Maringo Hospital by her uncle and cousin, she was declared dead.

Deepak Yadav admitted to the crime during the preliminary investigation. He informed the police that Radhika had turned down his repeated requests to close the academy. He also acknowledged that he had been profoundly impacted by the constant taunts about living off his daughter's income from the residents of his Wazirabad village.

The hospital called the police to report that a woman who had been shot had been brought in dead. Officers found that Radhika's father was the one who killed her.

Deepak Yadav has been arrested and the revolver used in the crime has been seized.

Reports state that the police began an extensive probe into the case.

Moreover, the talented tennis player Radhika Yadav has participated for the country at the national level and won multiple tournaments. Her premature and tragic death has shocked the neighbors as well as the Indian tennis community.
