Authorities probing the death of para-athlete Neeraj Yadav are investigating his personal relationships as part of a broader inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the incident. According to police statements, a female acquaintance indicated she could no longer maintain contact with Yadav, providing investigators with one line of inquiry among several being pursued.

Investigators are examining multiple factors in the case, including stress related to Yadav's career trajectory, financial difficulties, and personal circumstances. Police have indicated that a combination of pressures in his professional and private life may have contributed to the events leading to his death.
