> The alleged driver had previously served 7 months in prison for rape charges, that didn't stop Uber from recruiting him.

mostly because he had No Objection Certificate from Delhi Police itself [0] that his history is clean?

EDIT: This image could be fake too, I can't trust our Indian media houses either :|

Delhi Police say that the character certificate is fake. The person whose signature appear on the certificate was posted in Mizoram. [0]

NOC doesn't mean his record is clean, or he is safe to hire. NOC means, that DP doesn't have any issues with him getting recruited anywhere (ofcourse if people with records of served sentence aren't going to get a job, they will get into more shady things).

Uber on its own, had to follow its marketing pitch at least(that it checks bla bla bla). But then again, that didn't happen, and that is the basis of the outburst here.

Well the certificate mentions he has no criminal records.

Looks like a lazy cop issue is underway in the Delhi Police Department.
