Explore the disturbing case that sheds light on patriarchy, autonomy, and deep-rooted societal pressures in India. Gurugram Murder Shocker: Tennis Coach Radhika Yadav Killed by Her Father In a deeply disturbing case that has gripped the nation, Deepak Yadav was arrested and remanded to 14 days in judicial custody by a Gurugram court on July 12, 2025. He is accused of murdering his daughter, Radhika Yadav, a 25-year-old former state-level tennis player and coach. A Shocking Crime Inside the Home On the morning of July 10, Radhika was allegedly shot multiple times with her father’s licensed revolver inside their residence in Sector 57, Gurugram. According to initial reports, Radhika was preparing breakfast when the shooting occurred. Her mother, who was present in the house, mistook the gunshots for a pressure cooker explosion. It wasn’t until later that she realized the horrifying truth. Confession and Arrest Following the incident, Deepak made a startling confession over the phone to his brother: “Maine kanya vadh kar diya… mujhe faansi de do”(I’ve killed my daughter… I deserve to be hanged) Soon after, he was arrested by Gurugram Police and is now lodged in Bhondsi Jail while the investigation continues. Motive Rooted in Misogyny and Financial Insecurity While earlier rumours pointed to Radhika’s Instagram presence as the trigger, police later clarified that the motive was more disturbing. Deepak was reportedly upset by community gossip suggesting he was financially dependent on his daughter, who earned a living by renting tennis courts to train young athletes. A Self-Made Woman in a Patriarchal Society Radhika, known for her self-reliance and passion for tennis, had no formal academy but was widely respected among Haryana’s tennis community. Friends describe her as hardworking, independent, and determined to make a mark in a male-dominated field. A close friend shared that Radhika often felt suffocated at home due to her father’s controlling behaviour, which added to her mental stress. National Debate Over Patriarchy and Women’s Autonomy This tragic incident has reignited conversations around patriarchy in India, especially the discomfort some men experience when faced with female financial independence. It also reflects the social stigma tied to women stepping outside traditional gender roles. A Wake-Up Call for Society As the nation mourns Radhika’s loss, this case stands as a grim reminder of how internalised misogyny and male ego can manifest into unimaginable violence—even within families meant to be protective.
