Overview
- Rachna Yadav, 44, was killed by a close‑range gunshot to the head near her home on Saturday morning, and no arrests had been made by Sunday.
- Investigators say two assailants intercepted her, one confirmed her identity by asking her name, then shot her before fleeing with an accomplice captured on CCTV.
- Police recovered an empty cartridge at the scene and are examining multiple CCTV feeds while several teams pursue leads across Delhi and Haryana.
- Officers are focusing on links to the 2023 murder of her husband, in which she was the main witness; the alleged mastermind, Bharat Yadav, remains absconding and a proclaimed offender.
- The motorcycle used in the escape was found abandoned in Rohini and identified as stolen, as the family cites prior death threats and AAP leaders question Delhi’s law and order.
