Who was state-level tennis player, Radhika Yadav? The 25-year-old was killed by her father

25-year-old Radhika Yadav was a rising tennis player of India. Being born back in 2000, Radhika was ranked in the 113th position in the International Tennis Federation as a doubles player. She was even ranked in the 5th position in Haryana's Women's Doubles Category. According to the reports, she secured the 75th position in AITA's U-18 category and remained within the top 100 for 11 weeks. In singles from AITA, her highest rank was 35, and in doubles it was 53rd.

After sustaining a shoulder injury, Radhika halted her tennis career for a while, but she was still attached to it through teaching others. She used to run a tennis academy, where she would train young people to learn the skills, and move forward with their passion. However, her passion and hard work were futile because of her own dad, who couldn't stand some crooked remarks which could have been easily ignored, and as a result, he ended up killing his daughter due to orthodox mentality.

Why was Radhika Yadav killed by her father, Deepak Yadav?

The entire incident of Radhika Yadav's demise has caused uproar. It was Radhika's father who committed the crime. On July 10, 2025, Radhika was cooking in the kitchen when her father opened fire. He fired five bullets, and three of them hit Radhika near her waist, causing her untimely demise. The reason for her father's shocking deed was first stated to be due to a reel video, which she was asked to delete by him. Later, Gurugram police revealed that Radhika's father confessed to the crime and also revealed the reason behind his step.

Radhika's father, Deepak Yadav, in his confession, said that his daughter stopped playing tennis due to her shoulder injury, and she was running an academy. This led Deepak to face some taunts from his villagers, who said that he was living off his daughter, which further fueled his anger and upset. When Deepak asked Radhika to close her academy, she refused.

Deepak said people even commented on Radhika's character, which he didn't find well. However, Deepak's anger kept building up, and he mentioned that it hurt his dignity, which led him to shoot her dead with his licensed gun, while she was in the kitchen, cooking for her family members. An excerpt from his statement reads:

"I told my daughter that you have opened a tennis academy, close it, but my daughter refused to close the academy. This tension used to remain in my mind. Which used to hurt my dignity. Due to which I was very upset and tensed. Due to this tension, I took out my licensed revolver, when my daughter Radhika Yadav was cooking in the kitchen. So I shot my daughter Radhika Yadav three times on her waist from behind."
