In a shocking incident on July 10, 2025, 25-year-old former state-level tennis player Radhika Yadav was shot dead by her father, Deepak Yadav, in their Sushant Lok, Gurugram home while preparing food in the kitchen . Deepak reportedly fired five rounds from a licensed .32‑bore revolver, with three bullets hitting her in the back .
The uncle, who filed the FIR, later stated that Radhika’s mother was upstairs on the same floor during the shooting - contradicting initial reports that she rushed from the ground floor - adding complexity to the timeline.
Investigators say the motive stemmed from Deepak’s resentment over Radhika’s financial independence, her running a tennis academy, and social pressure that he was dependent on her income . Earlier theories linking the murder to Instagram reels or music videos have been dismissed by police, who confirmed the core dispute centered on the academy and the father’s humiliation.
Deepak Yadav has been arrested, and police continue to investigate all angles including the involvement of Radhika’s mother and any additional motives .
