GURUGRAM: Just days before her murder, tennis player Radhika Yadav was in discussions with her Dubai-based coach to work abroad despite her killer father’s objection. The ambitious young girl wanted to work in Australia, Dubai or China and wanted to leave home latest by October-November, one of her chats shared by investigators revealed on Saturday.

The information about 25-year-old Radhika’s dreams of attaining financial independence by working abroad came into public domain on a day when a Gurugram court sent her father Deepak Yadav, 49, to 14 days’ judicial custody.

The tennis player’s father, accused of her murder on Thursday, was produced before Judge Akash Jindal by the police after the end of his one-day custodial interrogation.
