Autopsy in Tennis Player's Murder Contradicts FIR
The investigation into the murder of national-level tennis player Radhika Yadav has taken a significant turn, as the postmortem report contradicts key details in the initial police FIR. The autopsy has revealed that Yadav was shot four times in the chest, directly challenging the confession of her father, who claimed he shot her from behind.
This major inconsistency has cast serious doubt on the accused's version of events and is forcing investigators to re-examine the circumstances surrounding her death.
Conflicting Accounts of the Crime
According to the police FIR, the accused, Deepak Yadav, admitted to shooting his 25-year-old daughter three times from the back. However, Dr. Deepak Mathur, a member of the Government Hospital Board, confirmed that the autopsy found four bullet wounds, all located on the front of her body. The bullets have been recovered and sent for forensic analysis.
This discrepancy between the physical evidence and the confession raises critical questions about the sequence of events that led to the tragedy.
Motive and Background
Radhika Yadav was allegedly killed by her father on Thursday morning. Police investigations suggest that Deepak Yadav was upset by taunts from villagers over his daughter's tennis academy. He had reportedly asked her to shut it down, but she refused.
Sources also indicate that her growing interest in becoming a social media influencer may have been another trigger. A music video featuring the tennis player has surfaced since her death, adding another layer to the investigation.
