New Delhi, June 2 (IBNS) The Delhi police on Tuesday arrested a driver of cab service provider Uber, who had allegedly molested a female passenger in Gurgaon on Sunday.

An FIR has been lodged by Gurgaon police in the case under section 354 A (molestation) of IPC against the cab driver.

The victim also registered her complaint over phone to an Uber representative following the incident  wherein the cab driver allegedly tried to kiss her.

The Uber representative said, "We have a zero tolerance policy for this behaviour and I assure you that our team is following up with Vinod (cab driver) appropriately and immediately."
