Amidst online speculation linking the song's popularity to the murder, Inam clarified he had no personal relationship with Radhika and refuted communal narratives.
NEW DELHI: Singer and co-star Inam-ul-Haq, who appeared alongside Radhika Yadav in the music video Karwaan, has said he will not keep any earnings from the project, days after the 25-year-old was shot dead by her father in Gurgaon.
Amid online speculation that the song's rising popularity is linked to the murder, Inam issued a statement on Instagram, saying, 'A lot of people say I'm gaining fame because of what happened to Radhika. That my song Karwaan is trending, and I'll earn from it. So let me say this clearly — I won't keep a single rupee.'
'Whatever I receive from Karwaan — whether monthly royalties from @iprsmusic or revenue from @songdewnetwork — will go towards helping the poor, feeding the hungry, supporting the helpless, and doing something meaningful,' he added.
'For as long as this song is played in the world, every payment, every month, for the rest of my life, will be donated.'

The music video featuring Radhika had surfaced online shortly after her death, sparking intense speculation on social media. Deepak Yadav, Radhika's father, was arrested for shooting her at their Sector 57 home. The FIR and PTI report state that Deepak fired at least five rounds at her, three of which struck her from behind while she was in the kitchen.

Her mother, Manju Yadav, who was on the ground floor at the time, rushed upstairs upon hearing the gunshots. She later told police she initially thought it was a pressure cooker blast.
Inam-ul-Haq, who featured in the song with Radhika, said the shoot was their only interaction and denied any personal connection. 'I met her for the first time during the Tennis Premier League in Delhi. Later, we worked together in the video shoot.
She was an actor to me. We gave her a good luck amount. The production was unpaid. After the release, there was no contact,' he said.
Rejecting the communal angle being pushed online, Haq said, 'This incident is being given a Hindu-Muslim angle. I don't know why. I have nothing to do with this case. There was neither any kind of friendship nor any relationship between Radhika and me.'
He also recalled that Radhika came for the shoot with her mother and mentioned that her father had liked the song.
'She told us she wanted to work in the film line. After that, we never met. She deactivated and reactivated her Instagram account two-three times,' he said.
The singer said he has not been contacted by police but is ready to cooperate. 'If I receive any call, I will definitely cooperate with them,' he added.
Radhika, who had switched to coaching after a tennis injury, was cremated in Gurgaon.
Police sources have said Deepak Yadav was upset with her for running a tennis academy and had allegedly asked her to take down the Karwaan video from social media. According to the postmortem report, she suffered four bullet injuries.
