Uber was temporarily banned in Delhi, India in December 2014 after a driver allegedly took a passenger to a secluded area and raped her. The decision followed mounting accusations that the company had failed to conduct proper background checks on drivers.
Mike Isaac’s Super Pumped (p. 188) presents the incident in greater detail: The driver noticed that the passenger had fallen asleep, and raped her in the back seat of his vehicle. Afterwards, he threatened to murder her if she told the police.
