Radhika Yadav murder: The autopsy report of Radhika Yadav, a 25-year-old tennis player who was reportedly shot dead by her own father on Thursday, has contradicted the shooter’s own admission that he shot her from the back. As per the autopsy, the young woman sustained four bullet wounds to the chest, contradicting the FIR which stated that three bullets were shot at her from the back.
What does the autopsy reveal?
A report by India Today, quoting Government Hospital Board member and surgeon Dr Deepak Mathur, said Radhika Yadav was shot four times from the front, and all bullets were located on her chest, with no exit wounds on the back, adding the bullets had been removed and sent for forensic analysis.
Notably, the accused, Deepak Yadav, Radhika’s father, had confessed that he shot his daughter three times from behind, according to the First Information Report (FIR) lodged by the police. However, the postmortem report reveals that Radhika Yadav was shot from the front, a revelation which could potentially change the entire scenario surrounding her death and sequence of events narrated by the shooter.
