Radhika Yadav killing: Autopsy report reveals four bullets hit tennis player, says doctor

Radhika Yadav killing: Autopsy report of Radhika Yadav has revealed that four bullets hit the tennis player, who was shot dead by her father Deepak Yadav in their Gurugram home.

“The postmortem of the deceased tennis player is completed. Four bullets were taken out from Radhika Yadav’s body,” Dr. Deepak Mathur, from the team of doctors who performed the postmortem, said, reported PTI.

What Radhika Yadav’s autopsy report revealed

Although the FIR mentions that Radhika was shot thrice, the tennis player’s autopsy report revealed that she was shot four times.

According to the postmortem findings, one of the bullets had a through-and-through trajectory — meaning it went in and came out of the body — leaving two wounds. This may have caused confusion about how many times the person was actually shot, reported Hindustan Times.

Police, in a statement, claimed that the tennis academy Radhika set up, was the bone of contention between the father and the daughter — a conflict fueled further by people’s taunts.

“Her father was not happy with it,” PTI quoted Gurugram police spokesperson Sandeep Singh as saying.

Radhika Yadav’s tennis academy

According to a report by NDTV, Radhika had sustained a shoulder injury during a recent match, which led her to take a break from playing tennis. However, instead of stepping away from the sport altogether, she chose to coach young tennis players and had set up her tennis academy in Gurugram’s Sector 57.

The music video in question, titled “KARWAAN”, was produced by Zeeshan Ahmad and released in 2024 under the LLF Records label. It featured Radhika Yadav alongside artist INAAM in multiple scenes.

How the killing happened

While Radhika and her father were discussing the shutting down of the tennis academy, an argument broke out and Deepak shot his daughter in a fit of rage.

Deepak Yadav, using his licensed revolver, fired three bullets at Radhika while she was in the kitchen — one striking her neck, and two hitting her in the back, TOI had reported earlier.
