On July 10, 2025, 25-year-old Radhika Yadav was allegedly shot dead<\/a> by her father, Deepak Yadav, in her own home in Gurugram. Yadav shot at her three times with his licensed revolver. The case has drawn national attention over the brutality of the alleged crime. However, following the incident, several social media users claimed that the ‘real reason’ behind Radhika’s death was her involvement with a Muslim man.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Radhika, a promising state-level tennis player, featured in a music video alongside a Muslim singer. Many X accounts were quick to point this out with speculative claims that Radhika’s father killed her because he was unhappy that his daughter starred in a video with a Muslim. Some conjectured that her ‘relationship’ with a Muslim man made her father unhappy.<\/p>\n

Among those who made such statements was X account @HPhobiaWatch. On July 11, a day after she was killed, the user posted, “Radhika father killed her because he was angry over she making reels with insta influencer Inamul Haq”. The user insinuated that Deepak Yadav should have killed the Muslim man instead. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Another X user, @iiamkrshn, posted a ‘meme’ showing Deepak Yadav’s picture with the text “Bulle se shadi karke vaise hi marne wali thi, Pahle hi maar dia toh kya galat kiaa”<\/em>. (“She was going to die anyway after marrying a Muslim, what’s wrong with killing her first?”)<\/p>\n

Note that ‘Bulla’<\/em> is an alternative term to refer to Muslims in place of the derogatory slur ‘Mulla<\/em>‘, which is more prone to getting flagged under X’s community guidelines. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n
