‘Bhai, Maine Kanya Vadh Kar Diya…’: What Radhika Yadav’s Father Said In Confession To Family After Killing Her
Police had earlier said Radhika Yadav ran a tennis academy, which had become a bone of contention.
In a new twist in tennis player Radhika Yadav’s murder case, her uncle said on Sunday that the accused, Deepak Yadav, demanded that he be hanged for murdering his daughter after firing five bullets at her, which ended her life. Radhika Yadav’s uncle, Vijay Yadav, said that Deepak had confessed that he had murdered Radhika before the police as well, and said that if there is any rule of hanging, then they should hang him for the crime.
Speaking to ANI, Vijay Yadav said, “He said to me, ‘Bhai, maine kanya vadh kar diya hai. Mujhe maar do.’.. He didn’t reveal a reason… He said that he had lost his mind… He said it in the police station, too, that if there is a rule of hanging, then hang him… She was a tennis coach. In my opinion, she had not opened any academy of her own…”
Vijay Yadav also claimed that Deepak was devoted to his daughter’s training and invested years in her career since childhood, a profession that demanded significant financial investment. “Her father used to take her for training at 5 in the morning, and used to bring her back in the evening till the training was on. She had stopped going anywhere else,” he said.
“These people were rich from the beginning. Her father has worked very hard. When everyone in their village had kutcha houses, they had a pucca house… There is no bigger punishment than realisation when a person himself is guilty,” he told ANI.
Radhika Yadav murder case
Radhika Yadav was cooking food in the kitchen on the first floor at around 2 pm on Thursday when her father came from behind and allegedly fired at her at least five times. The 25-year-old was shot dead at point-blank range by the 49-year-old at the family’s double-storey home in the Sushant Lok area in Gurugram’s Sector 57. Three bullets hit Radhika in the back and one in her shoulder, killing her on the spot, police said.
Police had earlier said Radhika Yadav ran a tennis academy, which had become a bone of contention between her and and her father as the latter was often taunted for living off his daughter’s income.
A city court sent the accused to judicial custody on Saturday. The court had remanded the accused in police custody for a day on Friday.

CLIFTON, Maine (WABI) – Maine Maple Sunday is less than two weeks away, and the Williams Family Farm in Clifton is gearing up for one of the sweetest seasons yet.
A long stretch of frost and snow meant a late start this year, but the first boil of sap has finally run through the evaporator, and maple season is officially underway.
At Williams Family Farm, everything is done by hand:
- Fresh maple syrup, bottled on-site
- Maple sugar, carefully extracted in small batches
- Baked candied pecans, cashews, and more
The Williams family has spent years working with whatever weather sends their way.
Long winters, surprise warmups, and everything in between—they’ve learned how to adapt so community members can enjoy their products.
As co-owner John Williams explains, the key is in the temperature.
“You need to have it warm during the day and still freezing at night, so typically that’s the middle of February,” said Williams. “We have a lot of trees, so we have to start tapping them before the conditions are ideal, so we start tapping way before it’s time for it to run just so we can get them all tapped. If you have ten trees in your backyard, you want to wait until roughly now, the middle of February to now, and when it’s actually running and put them in then because you can put all your taps in, in one day.”
They’re excited to welcome the community during Maine Maple Weekend on March 21 and 22.
They will be boiling up sap, hosting demonstrations, and providing free samples.
Locals can also join them for their third annual pancake breakfast where all proceeds are donated to Holbrook Recreation.
