A day after a 21-year-old woman accused the driver of Uber taxi services of attempting to kiss her after she got off at her destination in Gurgaon, Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi on Tuesday assured prompt action and said that a few taxis have already been confiscated.

"We will look into it and whatever action is required, we will definitely take. We have impounded a number of such taxis and we have also take action under the Motor Vehicles Act. Whatever else is required we will be doing," said Bassi.

"Anything which has come in the media, I may be aware of that but I will take an official notice only if I get something officially," he added.

According to reports, a case has been registered after the identification of the driver.

In December 2014, a 27-year-old finance executive of a Gurgaon-based company had alleged that the driver of an Uber cab drove her to a deserted place after she fell asleep in the vehicle and raped her.
