In Radhika Yadav Murder Case, Cops Focus On Deleted Data On Her Phone
New Delhi: The investigation into the killing of 25-year-old state-level tennis player Radhika Yadav has turned towards the contents of her mobile phone, with the police now attempting to retrieve deleted data that could provide insight into the circumstances leading to her death. Radhika was allegedly shot dead by her father, Deepak Yadav, 49, inside their double-storey home in Gurugram's Sushant Lok area on Thursday. The father, who was arrested shortly after the incident, has reportedly confessed to the murder. The police have sent Radhika's iPhone to DITECH - the Department of Information Technology, Electronics and Communication, Government of Haryana - with the goal of unlocking the device and retrieving any deleted messages, media, and communications. According to police sources, the phone was locked, and with the password unknown to the parents, the device had to be sent to DITECH to decode. The sources confirmed that Radhika had deleted her social media accounts just days before the shooting, which they now believe could be significant in establishing a motive or identifying potential threats.

‘Radhika Yadav Played Across The World': Family Rejects Friend's ‘Restrictions' Allegation
Last Updated: Radhika Yadav's friend claimed on Instagram that she was "controlled" by her father, alleging that he had made her life "miserable". Radhika Yadav's family has refuted the deceased tennis player's friend's claims that she felt trapped by 'restrictions" at home, stating that the 25-year-old travelled the entire world to play the sport, which showcased that there were no restraints on her. The family said that Himaanshika Singh, who claimed to be Radhika's 'best friend" in her Instagram videos, was making 'wrong statements' in the media about the family, underlining that the family members had also 'worked hard" along with the player. In a series of videos posted on Instagram, Himaanshika claimed that Radhika's father was 'controlling" her life and imposed restrictions on her. ALSO READ | 'Open And Shut': Gurugram Police End Radhika Yadav Murder Case, Won't Probe Friend's Videos 'Radhika loved posting videos and reels, but eventually, that stopped. Her family would often pressure her, saying: 'What will people say".' They had a problem with almost everything and restricted Radhika from doing what she liked. She even had a curfew," the friend claimed. One of Radhika's cousins responded to the claims. 'Agar bandishe hoti, toh woh ghar se nahi nikal paati, bachho ko training nahi de paati, toh ye sarasar galat aur bebuniyad baatein hain (If there had been restrictions, she (Radhika) would not have been able to leave home, train children. So these things are totally wrong and baseless," NDTV quoted the cousin as saying. The friend also claimed that Radhika's family succumbed to 'societal pressure", alleging that her father made her life 'miserable". 'My best friend Radhika was killed by her own father. He shot her five times, and four of the bullets hit her. He had made her life miserable for years by always trying to control her and constantly criticising her. In the end, he believed his friends who were jealous of her success," she claimed in the video. Deepak Yadav, the player's father, allegedly shot him dead on July 10, when she was preparing breakfast in the kitchen on her mother's birthday. He later confessed to the crime. Radhika's friend further claimed that she felt trapped by family 'restrictions" and had lastly given up, agreeing to live life as per the family's wishes. The family further accused Himaanshika of giving 'wrong statements" about restrictions in the family. 'Himanshika Rajput ji is giving wrong statements. If there were family restrictions, she would not have been able to even step out of her house to play tennis," NDTV quoted another cousin as saying. The family member claimed that there was hardly any country left in the world where Radhika had not gone to play tennis. 'Visa is required, tickets are also booked, it is not free. The family has also invested money, they have also worked hard. Radhika has also worked hard. Wrong statements are being made in the media that there were restrictions. There is nothing like that in the family," the cousin said. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 08:26 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
