New Delhi: Douglas H. Wigdor, the lawyer of the Uber rape survivor, has said that the radio taxi service had emailed her to inform her it that "has re-entered the market in Delhi."
The financial executive was raped in December, allegedly by a driver of the taxi service, who has since been arrested.
Here is the statement by the lawyer:
According to a news report and an email that they had the audacity to send directly to my client, Uber has announced, just weeks after the tragic rape of my client and during the criminal trial of the Uber driver, that it has re-entered the market in Delhi. While we have no doubt that Uber is focused on it's bottom-line, we are surprised by this development as we had made it clear to Uber that the rape victim wanted to be part of a consultation process regarding safety procedures to ensure that no other person becomes a victim at the hands of an Uber driver. Most unfortunately, this has not happened and we have no confidence that the touted "India-specific safety measures" will prevent another attack.
