This time it is Uber...

What conspired in New Delhi on 5^th Dec 2014 was yet another shameful act. A driver of an international renowned cab service provider, Uber, allegedly raped a 25 year old MNC executive. 

Utter negligence of this San Francisco, California based company in hiring the drivers with sound background and right attitude.

So the question arises, how to ensure that the booked cab comes with a driver of sound mind? Who to blame, the driver or the company providing the cab service? Nobody can take guarantee of anyone whether the one will commit a crime or not but these companies can definitely ensure that the drivers hired do not have any criminal background. The driver involved in this crime had a previous history of involvement in another rape case and yet he was hired by this company, now what does this say about the attitude of leader? The leaders have issued a statement that they cannot do a background check of 4000 drivers in India. Can we ask why?

In Thailand and Vietnam, Uber’s operations are reported to be illegal as the company and drivers were not authorized to run cab service.

In Portland, the company is in violation of more than 20 civil and criminal provisions.

Spanish phone companies have ordered to block Uber App following similar actions as around the world.

Now the irony is that in spite of all a black background why did the Indian government allowed this company to operate here? Is there no background check done when a company launches itself in a new country? If not this is high time, government should lay in place few important check points for any company to position itself.

Don’t know how many more crimes are required for these leaders to wake up and stand up!!!
