The nation is in shock over the murder of Radhika Yadav, a tennis player who had played in several international tournaments. The accused in this chilling case is none other than her own father, Deepak Yadav. The initial police investigation has revealed several startling facts, indicating Deepak's highly volatile nature and his tendency to lose his cool at the slightest provocation.

According to police sources, Deepak Yadav had a history of getting angry over minor issues, and if anyone ever said anything about his children or wife, his anger would disproportionately fall on his family. Radhika, who had sustained a shoulder injury, was allowed by Deepak to become a trainer upon her request. Police sources add that Radhika had traveled to 5 to 6 countries and participated in international tennis tournaments.

After her shoulder injury, Radhika retired from tennis and happily trained children. A caretaker named Tanu from the academy where Radhika last trained spoke to AajTak. Tanu reported that for about a month, Radhika had been coming there to coach children. During that time, her father never visited the academy. Additionally, Radhika provided personal training to high-profile individuals.

At one point, Radhika had reached a rank of 75 in the under-18 category. Initially, Deepak Yadav told the police that people he knew taunted him about living off his daughter's earnings, a theory that doesn't convince the police because Deepak himself earned a substantial monthly income, so why would anyone taunt him about such matters?

Currently, the police are deep into the investigation. Deepak Yadav's one-day police remand is ending today. After this, the police will present him in court. Based on their findings so far, the police deem mental imbalance, family stress, and an angry disposition as the major reasons behind the murder.
