Educated Working Women raped by Radio cab Driver in Delhi

The news itself causes you to concern about whether to visit India or stay away. Humanity and population have taken a new direction that is making this crazy country the worst place for women to live in. The woman had a few drinks with her friends at Cyber Hub in Gurgaon, near her office and then met friends at Vasant Vihar, Delhi. From here she booked a cab through the new services - Uber. She had to go to East Delhi and she dozed off during her trip, when she woke up she found herself in a secluded area with driver touching her inappropriately. She couldn't call for help and the driver threatened her with life. After raping her he dropped her home. She managed to take a picture of the cab and now the driver has been caught by the police in Mathura, three hours away from Delhi.


Uber has the graciousness to say that they have cancelled his membership with their company. The driver had a fake number and the cab did not have a GPS. This is the kind of service the international company is providing in India. the question changes to what is wrong with this country and who should a foreigner or any educated Indian trust when intending to utilise services.

According to the news, Uber did not have any details about the driver, can you imagine that the driver did not even have a driving license, we at Denetim are surprised that how has Uber been able to back its claims of safety guaranteed. This information is based on the news coverage of this shocking rape that has taken place a couple of days back. The driver was absconding and even the SIM card was not registered in his name. The police got hold of more information from the car registration which was available because the girl clicked a picture when the driver dropped her back.

When the woman woke up in the car, he threatened her to co-operate or he will insert a rod inside her genitals by giving her the example of what happened during the December rape case.

The result is orchestrated political reaction and not a conclusive operative action that should have been taken after such a incident happened to years back.

Even the media will play around with this news and forget it, just like December 16th, they should infact try and raise this unsafe capital issue on weekly basis to ensure that it reaches the correct ears to have proper judicial and government reaction. Two years after the horrific gang rape case that happened on 16th December , 2012 , the perpetrators are still not been punished with the crime, they are still in jail without the result of Death Penalty being completed, this is because the case is going further up the judiciary and finally reached the Supreme Court. We hope it speeds up now and results in finalisation of the death penalty.

Every woman that travels to India does think about her safety and counties to fear traveling to India. Will we ever change the way we behave ourselves with the better sex, will we ever respect woman the way we have idolised them by having many many woman gods. It will take more that education, laws and government action to change this. Hopefully evolution will help weed the bad eggs out in future as their survival is diminished in Indian jails and they can try everything but they will spend the rest of their lives in jail.
