Since December 7, the traffic police have imposed penalty on 3,851 drivers and impounded 527 cabs for violation of permit conditions. “Delhi Traffic Police also ensured that random checking on cabs with women passengers shall continue. In fact, on December 12, around 1,423 such cabs were stopped and checked,” said a senior official.

On the night of December 5, a young financial analyst was allegedly raped by a cab driver in Delhi. The incident triggered a massive outrage in Delhi, after which the US-based Uber cab company, for which the accused driver worked, was banned by the transport department in Delhi.
