Gurgaon: MNC employee raped in Uber cab, driver detained
Gurgaon, Dec 7 (IBNS): In a shocking and shameful incident, a Uber cab driver has allegedly raped a 25-year-old MNC employee in Gurgaon. The driver has now been detained by the police.

The woman has said in her statement to the police that she hired the cab and fell asleep in the vehicle.
The driver allegedly took her to a desolate location and raped her.
He allegedly threatened the woman against reporting the incident.
An FIR was registered at the Sarai Rohilla police station in North Delhi.
According to reports, the victim managed to take a photograph of the vehicle which helped police trace the car to Mathura.
To add on the shock, Uber, an international group which provides cab service all around the world, reportedly had no records of pick-up and drop.
The company has in a statement said: "We are deeply disturbed by the reported incident. Our thoughts are with the victim. We are actively and fully cooperating with authorities."
It said that "it is also our policy to immediately suspend a driver’s account following allegations of a serious incident, which we have done."
"Safety is Uber’s highest priority and in India, we work with licensed driver-partners to provide a safe transportation option, with layers of safeguards such as driver and vehicle information, and ETA-sharing to ensure there is accountability and traceability of all trips that occur on the Uber platform," said the company.
