Who Killed Radhika Yadav?

For her murder, 49-year-old Deepak Yadav, her father, has been taken into custody. He admitted to shooting his daughter in front of the cops.

Why Did Deepak Yadav Kill His Daughter?

There were two main reasons mentioned by the police and Deepak himself:

1. Family Disputes Over Her Tennis Academy:

Radhika used to run a tennis academy. According to the police, Deepak was unhappy with her running the academy and this led to regular arguments between them.

2. Personal Resentment:

Deepak told police that he felt insulted because people said he lived off his daughter’s income. This made him angry and frustrated.

When and Where Did the Incident Happen?

The shooting happened around 2 PM on July 10 at their house. Radhika was in the kitchen on the first floor, cooking something special for her mother’s birthday.

How Did It Happen?

Deepak Yadav used his licensed .32 bore revolver and fired five shots. Three bullets hit Radhika in the back. She died on the spot. Her mother, who was resting on the ground floor due to illness, rushed upstairs after hearing the shots. She first thought it was a pressure cooker blast.

Police reached the house quickly and took Radhika to the hospital, but doctors declared her dead. They found the gun in the drawing room with five empty shells and one live bullet.
