Uber Has Been Banned In Delhi After Alleged Rape
Travis Kalanick, chief executive
officer of Uber Technologies Inc.,
gestures as he speaks during the
Institute of Directors (IOD) annual
convention at the Royal Albert Hall in
London, U.K., on Friday, Oct. 3, 2014.
The government of India's capital
territory has just banned the ride-
sharing service Uber after a passenger
reported that a driver raped her,
according to the Deccan Chronicle.
Shiv Kumar Yadav, the Uber driver
who's been accused of raping a young
female passenger, is scheduled to
appear in Indian court on Monday, AFP
reports. The man was arrested for
another sexual assault three years ago
and eventually acquitted of the crime,
but he was still allowed to drive for
Uber.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has said that
Indian systems lack a process to "to
establish clear background checks,"
according to the Deccan Chronicle.
Indian police are reportedly considering
taking legal action against Uber,
claiming that the company hasn't run
proper background checks.
Delhi's government said in a statement
that "(the) Transport Department has
banned all activities relating to
providing any transport service by the
www.Uber.com with immediate effect."
The woman who accused the Uber
driver of rape said he dropped her off
after he assaulted her and told her not
to go to police. She reportedly took
down the driver's number and snapped
a photo of his car, according to AFP.
Uber recently raised more funding and
is now valued at $40 billion.
