Radhika Yadav killing: Autopsy report reveals four bullets hit tennis player, says doctor
Radhika Yadav killing: Autopsy report of Radhika Yadav has revealed that four bullets hit the tennis player, who was shot dead by her father Deepak Yadav in their Gurugram home. "The postmortem of the deceased tennis player is completed. Four bullets were taken out from Radhika Yadav's body," Dr. Deepak Mathur, from the team of doctors who performed the postmortem, said, reported PTI. Radhika Yadav's father later confessed to the crime, and has been arrested by the police. According to officials, Deepak Yadav confessed that he shot at Radhika because he was often taunted for living off her income. Police, in a statement, claimed that the tennis academy Radhika set up, was the bone of contention between the father and the daughter — a conflict fueled further by people's taunts. "Her father was not happy with it," PTI quoted Gurugram police spokesperson Sandeep Singh as saying. "On many occasions, he had told her to shut it, but she did not agree. Angered, he shot her thrice," the spokesperson added. According to a report by NDTV, Radhika had sustained a shoulder injury during a recent match, which led her to take a break from playing tennis. However, instead of stepping away from the sport altogether, she chose to coach young tennis players and had set up her on tennis academy in Gurugram's Sector 57. It was not just Radhika's tennis academy that was at the core of her fatal killing. The tennis player had appeared in a music video last year alongside an independent artist. This may have caused tensions within her household, with police investigating this angle behind the tennis player's murder, reported PTI. The music video in question, titled "KARWAAN", was produced by Zeeshan Ahmad and released in 2024 under the LLF Records label. It featured Radhika Yadav alongside artist INAAM in multiple scenes. While Radhika and her father were discussing the shutting down of the tennis academy, an argument broke out and Deepak shot his daughter in a fit of rage. Deepak Yadav, using his licensed revolver, fired three bullets at Radhika while she was in the kitchen — one striking her neck, and two hitting her in the back, TOI had reported earlier.
