New Delhi: Court has sent the Uber cab driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav accused of raping a 25-year-old woman, in judicial custody till December 24. The accused was produced in a Delhi court on Thursday evening.
Meanwhile, the company's Asia Pacific head was grilled by the Delhi Police on Wednesday. He was asked to furnish documents on employee verification, the company's database, and documents pertaining to employees they hire.
A petition was filed in the Delhi High Court over Uber not having a grievance officer, which is mandatory for all cab companies.
The police also recovered the iPhone that was given to the accused driver by Uber. Delhi Police has filed an FIR against Uber for cheating and not following government orders.
Usha Mehra Panel chief Justice Usha Mehra, however, said none of the guidlines given by the panel have been implemented by the government. The panel was set up after horrific December 16 Delhi gangrape to identify lapses and fix responsibility.
Mehra said, "Nothing has changed since Nirbhaya case. The government hasn't followed any of our recommendations. Uber and transport department are equally responsible. The co-ordination between traffic police, transport department is still lacking."
