No proper verification of drivers, FIR against Uber

The Noida Police on Monday lodged an FIR against cab aggregator Uber citing negligence by not having a real-time monitoring system and proper police verification of its drivers, officials said.

The company said it was yet to receive a copy of the FIR and stressed that safety was “paramount for all of us at Uber and we remain committed to trying to build the best possible safety standards for our riders”.

The case was registered at the Bisrakh police station in Greater Noida under Section 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Indian Penal Code, police said.
