Former Tennis Star Radhika Yadav Fatally Shot by Father in Gurugram

Gurugram, July 11(OT Webdesk)—In a harrowing turn of events, 25-year-old Radhika Yadav, a former state-level tennis player, was allegedly shot dead by her father, Deepak Yadav, at their residence in Sushant Lok-II on Thursday afternoon.

According to authorities, the incident occurred around 2 PM while Radhika was in the kitchen.

Deepak fired five rounds from a licensed .32 bore revolver, three of which struck her in the back, killing her instantly.

Radhika’s mother, who was on the ground floor, initially mistook the gunshots for a pressure cooker blast before rushing upstairs to find her daughter fatally wounded.

Sources reveal longstanding family tension fueled by Deepak’s financial dependence on Radhika and disagreements over the tennis academy she managed.

Following a complaint lodged by Radhika’s uncle, an FIR was filed at Sector 56 Police Station.

Deepak confessed to the crime during interrogation and has since been taken into custody. The murder weapon has been recovered, and a full investigation is underway.
