Uber cab driver charged with rape

An Indian court has charged an Uber cab driver with the rape, kidnap and criminal intimidation of a 25-year-old woman who hired the taxi service for a ride home from a dinner engagement last month.

The trial of 32-year-old Shiv Kumar Yadav is likely to begin in New Delhi later this week in a fast-track court set up in 2013 to bypass India's lumbering judicial system.
