Police begin Probe into Deleted Phone Data of Tennis Star allegedly sh%t de@d by her Father

Police investigating the d+ath of 25-year-old tennis player Radhika Yadav are focusing on her iPhone, hoping deleted data may reveal what led to the tr+gic incident.

Radhika was allegedly sh+t by her father, Deepak Yadav, 49, inside their Gurugram home last Thursday. He was arrested shortly after and has reportedly confessed.

Her phone has been sent to Haryana’s tech department (DITECH) to unlock it and retrieve deleted messages, media, and other content. Sources say Radhika had deleted her social media accounts days before the sh++ting, which investigators now see as possibly relevant.

A hidden Instagram account linked to Radhika has surfaced, and a close friend, Himaanshika Singh Rajput, has made serious allegations online. In a viral video, she accused Deepak of premeditated m¥rder, claiming he planned it three days prior, was jealous of Radhika’s rising profile, and had imposed strict rules—curfews, video call check-ins, and emotional control.

Rajput alleged Radhika was mentally drained and had “given up” under pressure from both her family and acquaintances who made misogynistic remarks, including vile suggestions that she be prostituted. “These taunts fed into his fragile ego,” she claimed.

However, Radhika’s family strongly denies the claims. A cousin said, “If there were restrictions, she wouldn’t have travelled, trained kids, or coached.” They insist she was supported in her global tennis career and say the allegations are baseless.

“There’s barely a country she didn’t compete in. Everything—from visas to tickets—was funded by the family,” the cousin added.

According to police, Deepak fired five shots—four hit Radhika, three in the back and one in the shoulder. The motive cited includes resentment over taunts that he was “living off her income.” Radhika ran a tennis academy, which reportedly caused friction at home.
