Taking to her X (Previously Twitter) account on July 12, Richa Chadha spoke her mind. She reacted to a video shared by the late Radhika’s friend, Himanshikha Singh Rajput. In the clip, Rajput claimed that her friend was often ‘shamed’ for wearing shorts and talking to boys. Chadha lashed out at this patriarchal mindset and people who were attempting to justify the murder.
She wrote, “There is no honour in killing your own child. If a few wagging tongues said stuff to him earlier, now the whole world will remember Deepak Yadav as a loser forever. Deepak Yadav, you have cemented your place as a LOSER and a COWARD in the annals of history.” She also called the men, trying to justify these losers.
Richa’s comment comes after disturbing internet users called Radhika’s father a ‘hero’ after reports suggested that she might have been dating a Muslim boy. According to initial reports, Radhika’s tennis academy was a source of contention because it made her the household’s financial provider, which Deepak disliked. She was shot four times, three bullets in her back and one in her shoulder.
