Court frames charges against Uber rape accused
He has been charged with rape, kidnapping and criminal intimidation.
Yadav, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, allegedly raped the 25-year-old finance executive on December 5.
The incident kicked up a nationwide uproar and also put Uber, the cab company, under severe criticism for failing to ensure passengers' safety.
The woman said in her complaint that she had fallen asleep in the vehicle and the driver took her to a desolate place and raped her. He even threatened to violate her with an iron rod.
Two days later, Yadav was arrested from his hometown Mathura in a joint operation by the police of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
The charge-sheet against him was filed in 19 days and the Delhi police asked for a trial in a fast-track court.
