Indian Cab Driver Arrested

Australian police today arrested eight teenagers in connection with a spate of violent armed robberies targeting taxi drivers, including an Indian cabbie, in Melbourne's western suburbs.

An Indian cab driver here has been arrested on charges that he raped and robbed a 26-year-old passenger in his taxi last year. Gurmeet Singh, 40, had allegedly held his victim at knifepoint and bound her wrists. He faces charges of rape, assault and robbery among others.

A Shanghai court sentenced a Chinese man who admitted he killed a New Zealand taxi driver to 15 years in prison Wednesday, citing his remorse as a reason for not imposing a harsher sentence. Xiao Zhen was arrested last year in China for the alleged murder of taxi driver Hiren Mohini, 39, in Auckland in January 2010.

Victorian police arrested and charged an Indian cabbie on Thursday, who allegedly knocked off his passenger.
