Shiv Kumar Yadav, the 32-year-old driver of banned online cab booking service Uber, allegedly raped a 25-year-old working woman in his cab Dec 5 while she was on her way home in north Delhi.
Metropolitan Magistrate Jagminder Singh sent Yadav to judicial custody till Jan 2, 2015 and declined the plea of Delhi Police which sought extension of his police custody.
Along with Yadav, Javneet Singh who allegedly assisted Yadav in procuring a fake character certificate, was also sent to judicial custody.
