Father Kills Tennis Star Daughter Over Financial Independence

Radhika Yadav, a former professional tennis player, was tragically murdered on July 11, 2025. Her father, Deepak Yadav, is the prime suspect.

Police sources confirmed Deepak Yadav’s arrest. The motive, according to initial investigations, appears to stem from a bitter dispute over Radhika’s financial independence.

Radhika had recently abandoned her professional tennis career to establish her own academy. This decision, and her subsequent financial success, reportedly angered her father.

Deepak Yadav allegedly felt humiliated by societal perceptions of his daughter’s earnings, especially considering his substantial investment in her training.

The case highlights the tragic consequences of patriarchal attitudes and the pressure faced by women achieving financial autonomy in India. The ongoing investigation seeks to uncover further details surrounding the horrific crime and bring justice to Radhika Yadav.
