Radhika Yadav deactivated Instagram account: Music video partner Inaam Ul Haq reveals final conversation with Tennis star

Radhika Yadav, who was allegedly killed by her father Deepak, had deactivated her account after the release of music video titled 'Karwaan', revealed co-star Inaam Ul Haq.

"Radhika was just a co-star. I was only shooting a video with her — it was a jewellery shoot for a company. She came with her mother, and we had no personal connection; she was a stranger to me. After the video was released, she deactivated her account and never responded to my messages — this was around four or five months ago. Radhika didn’t even promote the video," Inaam Ul Haq told CNN News18.

All about the music video angle
A day after 25-year-old tennis coach Radhika Yadav was shot dead allegedly by her father at their Sushant Lok residence in Gurgaon, a music video starring her surfaced online.


The video — a romantic track titled Karwaan — was released in 2024 under the LLF Records label.

Radhika appeared in a lead role, with Zeeshan Ahmad producing the video and independent artist INAAM featuring in the song.

Police have confirmed they are examining all possible motives in the murder, including whether Radhika’s involvement in the music video played a role in the conflict at home.

“This angle is also being investigated,” said a police official familiar with the case.

The crime took place around 2pm on Thursday. According to police, Radhika was in the kitchen on the first floor of their two-storey home when her father, Deepak Yadav (49), allegedly fired five rounds from his licensed .32 bore revolver. Three bullets struck Radhika in the back, killing her on the spot.

Deepak, a native of Wazirabad village, was arrested soon after and later confessed to the crime.

During interrogation, he allegedly told police that he was often taunted for being financially dependent on his daughter, which led to rising tensions within the household.

Investigators are now piecing together family dynamics and examining Radhika’s professional and personal life, including her role in the music video, to understand the full picture behind the murder.
