Fear and an instinct for self-preservation kept an auto-rickshaw driver from telling the police that he had given a ride to the victim in the alleged Alwar gangrape case on that ill-fated day.

Aaj Tak/India Today tracked down autorickshaw driver Raju Yadav (28) in his village, about 3 km away from the place where the victim lives in Alwar. Raju Yadav has been summoned twice by the police in the case. He got married in 2015 and has two children.
