New Delhi: Delhi Police on Monday questioned an official of global taxi company Uber in connection with the rape of a 25-year-old working woman in the national capital.
"Gagan Bhatia, director (who looks after the work in Delhi and national capital region) has been called today (Monday) and was questioned," a police officer told IANS.
The questioning was conducted at Deputy Commissioner of Police Madhur Verma's office in north Delhi.
The questioning came three days after one of the company's drivers, Shiv Kumar Yadav, allegedly raped the woman commuter in New Delhi. The woman was on her way to home in north Delhi's Inderlok area from Gurgaon in Haryana where she works with a private company.
Yadav was on Sunday arrested from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh.
During investigation, it has been found that the cab driver had a criminal record and was accused in another rape case. Besides, Uber had not given him any public service verification (badge) or any employer's verification certificate.
The Delhi government has decided to ban the Uber service in the city.
