Father Kills Tennis Star Daughter Over Career Defiance: Charges Filed

The 51-year-old builder was reportedly humiliated by acquaintances in Wazirabad village who mocked him for "living off his daughter's income."  The 420-page chargesheet, filed in court on Wednesday, details how the murder stemmed from this so-called “humiliation” and his repeated demands that Radhika give up her career.

According to senior officials aware of the investigation in the July 10 murder, the 51-year-old builder was upset after being taunted by acquaintances in Wazirabad village who mocked him for “living off his daughter’s income.”

The chargesheet alleges that Deepak Yadav's anger was driven by remarks from his social circle about his dependence on the success of his daughter's tennis academy and her apparent income from it.  He had been pressuring her to close the academy and stay home.
