An Indian court has found an Uber taxi driver guilty of raping a female passenger last year in Delhi.
Shiv
Kumar Yadav has also been convicted of criminal intimidation and
kidnapping, the prosecution lawyer told the BBC. He had pleaded not
guilty.
A 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 failing to carry out adequate driver checks.
The company apologised for the incident at the time and acknowledged that it "must do better".
The woman had also filed a lawsuit against the service in a US court, which was later settled out of court
