An Indian court has sentenced an Uber taxi driver to life imprisonment after he was found guilty of raping a female passenger last year in Delhi.
Shiv Kumar Yadav was also convicted of criminal intimidation and kidnapping.
The 26-year-old woman was taken to a secluded area and raped after booking a journey home with Uber in December.
Delhi later banned Uber and several other web-based taxi firms for many months, accusing them of failing to carry out adequate driver checks.
The company apologised for the incident at the time and acknowledged that it “must do better”.
