Know who he is? He was a notorious criminal and rapist who had several rape cases lodged against him. However, no action was taken as he bribed a local police station with alcohol and snacks, despite complaints against him.

Reportedly, there were over a 100 women, and each of them vowed not to spare him, even used a knife on him. Yadav begged for forgiveness, but within 15 minutes, he died of his wounds.
