Radhika Yadav’s Father ‘Simmered’ For 3 Days After Argument, Then Shot Her

Details given by the police on the murder of tennis player Radhika Yadav have revealed that Deepak Yadav supported his daughter, investing Rs 2 crore so she could open an academy, and was taunted by several people who called him a ‘gira hua baap’ (fallen father). The 49-year-old, however, was also suspicious of his wife and Radhika and was known for having a short temper. 

Deepak shot 25-year-old Radhika four times from behind, in her waist and back, while she was preparing breakfast at their Gurugram home on Thursday. He was arrested and has confessed to the crime.

Deepak also spent Rs 2 crore to help her do so
