In fact, it was on his advice that I moved to Gurugram, a city that then began to become urban rapidly,” says Vinod.
A decade ago, Deepak and his brother Kuldeep’s family moved to a house in Sector 57. But Deepak often visited his village, a few kilometers from his house.
Asked why
According to the police, Deepak was allegedly faced by fellow villagers to stay away from his daughter, which was said to be earning well.
“When I went to Wazirabad to bring milk, the people of the village taunted me to stay away from my daughter’s earnings. It harassed me. They also raised fingers on her character.

The kitchen,” the kitchen, ”the police reads the father’s statement.

Vijay says that Radhika had started training the upcoming players at Rader’s academy, just after being injured by the road, after being injured, and later took the job of coach in another academy in Sector 61. He says it was a stop-gap system, as she was firm to return as a player. Vijay claims that the shooting was “an accident”.
Some media houses reported that Radhika wanted to marry a person from another caste, quoting it as a purpose, given that such incidents in Haryana had happened earlier. Vijay says that the family is educated and can discuss such issues in a cordial manner and tell that this story was the creation of media.

“Everyone feels that they are colliding hard in their area. Everyone wants to come to this industry for fame. She was also interested. We shot a music video together more than a year ago. During the shoot, she told my production head in my presence that she tells her to tell her about more such projects. She wanted to work in this industry as an actor.
The reward says that Radhika told her that her father had liked the song, and although she was not present in the shooting, her mother was.
“At the time of promotion, he accepted a cooperation and posted a story, but after a long time he did not promote the song later and neutralized his account. I asked him, but he did not give any reason. He uploaded a video about his grandfather’s death. I felt that it could be the reason. He once activated him.”
Inspector Kumar says that Radhika’s mother told the police during the investigation that Deepak is “suspicious” and “eccentric”. The police officer said, “He also objected to talking to his younger brother to his younger brother. Deepak is in a hurry to believe in rumors and is motivated to overthrow him. If someone puts something in his head, he finds it difficult to get out of his mind.”
Posting a video on her Instagram account, “Tell the truth about Radhika”, her “best friend” Himanshika Singh Rajput, also a tennis player, says Radhika was a kind person and a good friend, but “she was suffering for a long time and was succumbing at home”.
The emotional video shot after the cremation states said, “Who would like to live in this way when you have to explain everything. Even on video calls she had to show me that she was talking to me. Her academy is only 50 meters away from her house, but she had to return home every day. She was a wonderful coach, and all her students loved her.”
In a video of about three minutes, Part I label, Himanshika says that Radhika loved to click himself and shoot the video, but it all slowly stopped because her parents are “orthodox”.
