4 bullets to chest: Radhika's autopsy contradicts 'father shot from behind' claim

India Today11-07-2025
The postmortem report of tennis player Radhika Yadav has revealed that four bullets were shot at her chest, contradicting the FIR which said three bullets were shot from the back.Government Hospital Board member and surgeon Dr Deepak Mathur told India Today in a telephonic conversation that Radhika was shot four times, with all bullet wounds located on her chest. Dr Mathur confirmed that the bullets had been removed from the body and sent for forensic examination.advertisementThe key point of contention now lies in the shooter's own admission. As per the police FIR, the accused, Deepak Yadav, had admitted that he had shot his daughter from behind. However, the postmortem findings indicate that all the gunshot wounds were on the front of the body.
This inconsistency has cast doubt on the sequence of events described by the suspect and raises new questions about the circumstances surrounding Radhika's death.National level tennis player Radhika Yadav, 25, was allegedly shot dead by her own father on Thursday morning. As to sources, police investigations revealed that her father, Deepak Yadav, upset over the villagers' taunts, repeatedly asked Radhika to shut down her tennis academy. However, she refused to do so, ultimately triggering her father's criminal act.Sources also said that Radhika's interest in becoming a social media influencer might have also triggered her father. A music video titled 'KARWAAN', featuring the tennis player, has surfaced following her death, raising speculation on its connection to the murder.- EndsMust Watch

Actress Ruchi Gujjar slaps producer Karan Singh at film premiere over ₹23 lakh 'fraud': ‘Started threatening'

Actress Ruchi Gujjar, who wore the viral PM Modi necklace at Cannes film festival this year, slapped and hit Karan Singh Chauhan, producer of Hindi crime thriller So Long Valley at film premiere, over alleged ₹ 23 lakh deal fraud. She said he began threatening her after she asked him to pay back the money which she reportedly paid for a project that didn't even commence. Ruchi filed a First Information Report (FIR) against him, implicating him in criminal breach of trust, and intimidation in a financial dispute, as per an India Today report. It was registered at Oshiwara police station on July 24, 2025. Karan had assured her a profit share and on-screen credit, she alleged, mentioning, 'He offered to add me as a co-producer and also sent documents related to the project.' She claimed to have paid Karan's K Studios multiple times between July 2023 and January 2024 through her company, SR Event and Entertainment. The project, however, never kicked-off. "Despite repeated contacts, he kept postponing them and lied," she said. Ruchi added the money was allegedly used for the production of So Long Valley instead of the TV project, saying, 'When I got the information that the film is releasing on July 27, I told him to return my money now, on which he started threatening me.' So Long Valley Director Man Singh said, 'Model Ruchi Gujjar and Karan Singh know each other very well. If she paid some amount to Karan for our movie, she should provide the evidence. It's a publicity stunt, nothing else.' Karan had contacted her in 2024 stating he was producing a Hindi television serial that would soon come on Sony TV, Singh noted, according to a PTI report. In a statement, he also said Ruchi sought a stay on the film's release, but the court permitted it to proceed as scheduled. Mumbai police has filed an FIR under sections 318(4), 352, and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against Karan.
