Gurugram Police File Chargesheet in Radhika Yadav Killing Citing Honour Motive

A 400-plus-page police filing alleges an honour motive with premeditation, moving the case toward trial.

Overview

  • The chargesheet spans over 400 pages, with reports placing it between 420 and 450 pages, and was filed within the 90-day window to head off procedural bail claims.
  • Police allege Deepak Yadav planned the killing, practiced with his licensed pistol, sent his son out to create an opportunity, and fired four shots as Radhika cooked.
  • The document lists about 33 prosecution witnesses including forensic experts and neighbours, and the next court hearing is scheduled for October 17.
  • Investigators say Yadav admitted to the shooting and justified it as protecting family honour, and he has not applied for bail since his arrest.
  • Officers reported finding no evidence of a love-affair angle, and some forensic reports are still pending as the case advances toward trial.
