A man shot his daughter dead in Gurugram's Sushant Lok today. The victim, Radhika Yadav, was a tennis player and lived in Sushant Lok Phase 2. The police said the man allegedly killed her because he was upset with his daughter running a tennis academy, and people made remarks at him, saying he was living on her earnings.
The father, Deepak Yadav, fired five bullets at his daughter, and three hit her. The police have arrested the man.
The police said they received a call that a woman, with bullet injuries, was brought dead to the hospital. The cops then went to her house and found that she used to run a tennis academy, and her father shot her dead.
The man was arrested, and during the preliminary investigation, he confessed to killing her. The complaint was filed by the accused's brother, who lives on the ground floor. The cops said that Deepak was upset with his daughter for running a tennis academy and was forcing her to shut it down.
According to the police, Deepak, during the interrogation, said his daughter opened an academy after she suffered a shoulder injury. Whenever he went to his village in Wazirabad, people made taunts at him for living on his daughter's earnings, which hurt his dignity. The man said he told his daughter to shut down the academy, but she refused, which made him angry.
Today, he allegedly pulled out his revolver and shot her dead.
The accused's brother, in his complaint, said, "Around 10 am, I heard a loud sound and when I went to the first floor, I saw my niece (Radhika) lying in the kitchen and the gun in the drawing room. My son and I took her to Asia Maringo Hospital, where the doctors declared her dead."
"My brother used a .32 bore revolver, and it belonged to him," the accused's brother said.
Radhika was a national-level tennis player and had won several competitions. The 25-year-old victim was shot dead around 10 am inside her house in sector-57 Gurugram.
The police have seized the gun used by her father, and the matter is under investigation.
