‘Maine kanya vadh kardi': What Haryana tennis player Radhika Yadav's father said after killing her
Vijay Yadav, Radhika Yadav's uncle said 'there is no bigger punishment than realisation when a person himself is guilty.'
"Mereko ye kaha ki bhai, maine kanya vadh kar diya hai. Mujhe maar do...vajah nahi batayi… kehta bas bhai dimag kharab ho gaya tha [He said brother, I killed my daughter, kill me… he did not tell any reason… He said that he had lost his mind," Vijay Yadav said.
'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 and everything else... He said it in the police station, too, that if there is a rule of hanging, then hang him,' Vijay Yadav said, according to a video byte posted by news agency ANI.
"She was a tennis coach. In my opinion, she had not opened any academy of her own... 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," Radhika Yadav's uncle added.
Radhika Yadav murder
State-level tennis player Radhika Yadav was cremated on Friday evening, a day after her father shot her dead at point blank range at their Gurugram residence.
Deepak Yadav, 49, reportedly confessed to the crime, with several unconfirmed reports making multiple claims on the motive of the murder, including 'taunts', a tennis academy, Instagram reel and a music video.
A Gurugram court sent Deepak Yadav to 14 days' judicial custody on Saturday.
The 25-year-old received four bullets, three in the back and one in the shoulder, according to the postmortem report by a board of three doctors, said police on Friday. That done, her body was handed over to the family and taken for last rites to the family's village in Wazirabad close by.
New shocking details
Deepak Yadav allegedly shot his daughter Radhika Yadav four times in the back while she was cooking breakfast in the kitchen of their three-storey home in Block-G of Sushant Lok-2 around 10.30am on Thursday, police said.
'He admitted during questioning that he planned the murder,' said Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer of Gurugram police, according to an earlier Hindustan Times report.
'He typically bought milk himself in the mornings, but on Thursday, he asked his son to go instead. Once alone with Radhika, he pumped four bullets into her while she was cooking breakfast,' he added.

"She Was Murdered": Father Of Odisha Woman Who Set Herself On Fire
Balasore: The father of the victim who died from self-immolation in Odisha's Balasore on Tuesday claimed that his daughter did not die by suicide but was murdered. He demanded that the state government treat the case as a murder and punish all those involved. Speaking to ANI, the victim's father said, "Everyone together forced my daughter to die. Isn't that murder? I believe it was a conspiracy because she used to raise her voice in college, and they didn't like it." Referring to her last visit to the college principal's office, the victim's father questioned the circumstances leading to her death. "They all conspired to force my daughter to commit suicide. Why did she commit suicide right after coming out of the Principal's room? Something must have happened inside. What happened inside? Why was she called in alone? Why wasn't I or my son called? I request the government to acknowledge that my daughter didn't die, she was killed, and everyone should be charged with murder," he said. The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) will organise a protest rally on Wednesday in response to the death of a 20-year-old student, who died after setting herself on fire following repeated complaints of sexual harassment by a college teacher that were allegedly ignored. The party has also demanded Rs 1 crore compensation for the victim's family and a judicial inquiry into the incident. BJD MLA Goutam Buddha Das told ANI, "It is very unfortunate news that a girl from our constituency died due to self-immolation. The student was being harassed by her teacher. She complained to the college principal, went to the MPs, and tweeted the same to the CM and the education minister. No one listened to her. The government is responsible for this." "We have decided to close Balasore tomorrow. We will organise a protest rally. We demand that the family of the victim should get the compensation of Rs 1 crore, and a judicial inquiry should happen," he added. The 20-year-old student had allegedly faced prolonged sexual harassment by the Head of Department (HoD) at Fakir Mohan (Autonomous) College in Balasore. Despite filing a formal complaint and seeking help from the college principal, her grievances reportedly went unheard, leading her to take the extreme step on campus last Saturday. She was initially admitted to the Balasore district hospital and later referred to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhubaneswar, where she succumbed to her burn injuries on Monday, hospital authorities said. In connection with the case, Fakir Mohan College's HoD, Samira Kumar Sahu, and Principal, Dilip Ghose, have been arrested.
