Overview

  • A Gurugram court sent Deepak Yadav to 14 days of judicial custody after his initial one-day police remand, and he faces charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 103(1) and the Arms Act.
  • Investigators confirmed that 25-year-old Radhika did not own an academy but provided coaching at rented courts, overturning earlier academy ownership claims.
  • Forensic teams have seized Deepak’s licensed .32 bore revolver, spent shells, a live cartridge and biological samples, and are conducting ballistics and fingerprint analyses.
  • Deepak told police that villagers’ taunts about him living off his daughter’s earnings and his objections to her coaching activities fuelled his anger and led to his confession.
  • Police are examining social media posts and family dynamics alongside forensic findings to build the case against the accused father.
