Radhika Yadav, a 25-year-old national-level tennis player, was shot dead by her father Deepak Yadav in Gurugram. Police say he confessed to firing three bullets into her back while she was in the kitchen. Family tensions had escalated over her financial independence, Instagram reels, and a music video appearance that allegedly embarrassed him. Deepak, a former bank employee, reportedly faced taunts in their village for depending on his daughter. Radhika had recently shifted to coaching after an injury. The accused’s wife was home but has not given a written statement. Police are probing the motive further, including social pressures. (PC: NDTV)
