Delhi rape: Uber driver booked in more molestation cases
Shiv Kumar Yadav, 32, was earlier booked in a sexual assault case, two molestation cases and an Arms Act case between 2006 and 2013.
In 2011, Yadav spent seven months in Tihar jail in another sexual assault case in Delhi, CNN-IBN reported.
"He was booked in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri for sexual assault in 2013. The two molestation cases were registered in 2009 and the Arms Act in 2006," the channel reported.
Yadav is currently in police custody for raping a woman in the national capital on Friday night.
The reports surfaced even as Uber, the US company launched in 2009 which now operates in over 200 cities worldwide, claimed to run a background check on all of its drivers.
Uber has been banned from operating by the Delhi government.
The company is under scanner and its CEO in India has been called by authorities. Reports said FIR has been lodged against Uber, which apparently had double standards in verifying records of drivers in India and elsewhere in other parts of the world.
