Radhika Yadav, a 25-year-old state-level and national-level tennis player from Gurugram, Haryana, was shot dead by her father, Deepak Yadav, at their residence in Sector 57 on July 10, 2025. Deepak Yadav, 49, used his licensed revolver to fire four bullets, three of which hit Radhika in the back, resulting in her death due to excessive blood loss despite being rushed to the hospital. The incident reportedly stemmed from a dispute over Radhika running a tennis academy, which her father opposed. Deepak Yadav confessed to the murder, citing feelings of humiliation and insults from villagers who taunted him for living off his daughter's earnings and questioned her character. Police arrested Deepak Yadav and have obtained a 14-day judicial custody following a one-day police remand. The investigation includes retrieving data from Radhika's phone to uncover further details. Radhika was active on the International Tennis Federation circuit, ranked 113, and had aspirations of competing at Wimbledon. The case has drawn attention to familial and societal pressures, with friends and acquaintances describing Deepak as extremely controlling and suggesting the murder was premeditated over several days. The community and sports figures have expressed sorrow over the tragedy, highlighting the loss of a promising athlete.
