Uber driver convicted of raping passenger in Delhi

Shiv Kumar Yadav attacked 25-year-old woman in case that led to accusations of inadequate background checks on drivers

An Uber taxi driver has been convicted of raping a female passenger in Delhi last year, a case that sparked fresh fears in a city plagued by sexual violence.

Uber was banned from operating in India's capital in the aftermath of the attack, which led to accusations that the company failed to conduct adequate background checks, although the ban has never been fully enforced.
