Police sources said that the accused in the Kanjhawala case were aware that a woman was trapped between the wheels of their car but did not try to rescue her because they were afraid that someone might see them.

The accused in the car realized minutes after the accident that Singh was trapped under their car. However, they did not try to rescue the victim because they were afraid that if they step out of the car and pull out the victim, someone might see them, the sources said. They further revealed that investigators have so far examined more than 300 CCTV footages in relation to the case.
