A video has surfaced on social media in which a woman, claiming to be Radhika Yadav’s best friend, shares disturbing details about the circumstances leading to the tennis player's murder, shedding light on years of emotional abuse and controlling behavior within her family.
Himanshika Singh Rajput, best friend of slain tennis player Radhika Yadav, has broken her silence—offering a chilling glimpse into the suffocating home environment that may have led to the tragedy.
Himanshika described Radhika’s life as controlled and stifled, with her father obsessively monitoring her movements, phone calls, and friendships.
She even dismissed rumors of any communal motive, saying there was no evidence of a “Love Jihad” angle, and that Radhika rarely spoke to anyone outside her family.

Her father reportedly couldn’t tolerate her success and autonomy, leading to years of emotional abuse.
