 Authorities in the Indian capital, Delhi, have banned international taxi-booking service Uber after a driver allegedly raped a female passenger. 
  
 A transport department official said the company had been "blacklisted" for "misleading customers". 
  
 The 26-year-old woman used the smartphone app to book a taxi home on Friday but says she was taken to a secluded area and raped. 
  
 The driver has been remanded in custody for three days. 
  
 He was arrested on Sunday and appeared in court on Monday afternoon.

 Some who had gathered outside the court tried to attack him as he was brought out, but police rushed him to a waiting van and took him away. 
  
 Police say they will charge him with raping the finance company employee on Friday night when she used the taxi to take her home from a restaurant.

 Uber, which is growing in popularity in India, has been accused of failing to conduct adequate checks on its drivers. 
  
 "(The) Transport Department has banned all activities relating to providing any transport service by the www.Uber.com with immediate effect," news agency AFP reported, quoting from a government statement. 
  
 The ban means any Uber taxi in Delhi will now attract a fine or even be impounded, officials say. 
  
 The company is still accepting bookings on its app and it is not yet clear how the ban will be enforced since Uber taxis do not carry any visible branding. 
  
 Before the ban was announced, Uber described the incident as "horrific" and said it would do everything "to help bring this perpetrator to justice". 
  
 "Our entire team's hearts go out to the victim of this despicable crime. We will do everything, I repeat, everything to help bring this perpetrator to justice and to support the victim and her family in her recovery," Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said in a statement. 
  
 He said Uber would "work with the government to establish clear background checks currently absent in their commercial transportation licensing programs". 
  
 Using Delhi taxis: Shilpa Kannan, BBC News, Delhi

 I have been using taxis in Delhi for the past 14 years. The main option initially were black-and-yellow, smelly and dilapidated Ambassadors run by the local taxi rank and I used them regularly, night and day. 
  
 That was until a few years ago when private "radio taxi" services were introduced which promised swanky new cars and better trained, more polite drivers. 
  
 That's when many people, including me, switched to them even though they were more expensive. 
  
 I began to use Easy Cabs, Mega Cabs and Meru. I would call into their call centres and book a pick up and they almost always delivered. 
  
 These cars are all fitted with GPS which means they can be tracked as they journey through the city's streets. 
  
 Safety is an issue in Delhi and like most women in the city, when I get into a taxi alone, I call home and give the car licence plate number and an estimated arrival time. 
  
 Meru, one of the largest radio taxi operators in India with nearly 6,000 cars, also introduced a "trip tracker facility" where an automatic messaging system sends regular updates about your trip to a contact of yours. 
  
 But as many of the Meru, Mega and Easy cabs have been run down from overuse, in recent months, I began using the newer services like Ola, TaxiForSure and Uber which connect customers with drivers through their apps and charge a commission on every ride. 
  
 After the weekend incident, I have decided to go back to my local taxi rank - I'm more comfortable with the smelly Ambassador with the driver who has been driving it for decades. 
  
 Uber, which is based in San-Francisco, said safety was paramount and that it had GPS traces of all journeys. 
  
 Established in 2009, the company operates in dozens of countries and recently attracted investment which values it at $40bn (£25bn). 
  
 The latest allegation of rape has again put the spotlight on the issue of sexual violence against Indian women, following a series of recent incidents. 
  
 It comes days before the second anniversary of the gang rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi, which prompted global outrage and a tightening of the laws on sexual violence. 
  
 Correspondents, however, say tougher laws have failed to bring down the number of rape cases - according to the National Crime Records Bureau, India recorded 33,707 cases in 2013 as against 24,923 in 2012. 
  
 And many in India are taking to social media to express their anger about the latest incident with #DelhiShamedAgain trending heavily on Twitter.

In a statement issued today, the Delhi transport department said the mobile taxi-hailing service has been blacklisted from providing any transport services in the Indian capital. 
  
 The driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav, was arrested Sunday after allegedly raping a 25-year-old woman who was returning home from dinner on Friday night. As Reuters reports, Yadav, 32, faced rape charges in 2011 as well, though they were ultimately dropped after his accuser — also a taxi passenger — agreed to a settlement. 
  
 Questions emerge over background check policy 
  
 The incident comes two years after the fatal gang rape of a woman on a New Delhi bus, which sparked nationwide protests and calls for tougher laws to protect women in India. New Delhi police will also question Uber executives about their hiring practices and how the company conducts background checks on prospective drivers. 
  
 "Every violation by Uber will be evaluated and we will go for legal recourse," Madhur Verma, deputy commissioner with the Delhi police, told Reuters. 
  
 Uber has expanded rapidly across India over the past year, and has proven particularly popular among women who perceive it as a safer transit option. According to recent government statistics, more women in Delhi were raped in 2012 than any other major Indian city, with 585 reported cases. That figure notably doesn't account for the many rape and sexual assault cases that go unreported. 
  
 In a statement issued prior to Monday's ban, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick appeared to deflect responsibility for Friday's incident, noting that clear background check policies have not been implemented by the Delhi government. 
  
 "We will work with the government to establish clear background checks currently absent in their commercial transportation licensing programs," Kalanick said. "We will also partner closely with the groups who are leading the way on women’s safety here in New Delhi and around the country and invest in technology advances to help make New Delhi a safer city for women." 
  
 Uber expanded background checks for US drivers earlier this year, making both federal and county checks mandatory for drivers. Uber did not immediately respond to a request for further comment. ||||| NEW DELHI — The Delhi region on Monday banned Uber, the popular hail-a-ride service, after one of its drivers appeared in court on suspicion of raping a passenger who dozed off during a ride home only to discover that the driver had taken her to a secluded spot and climbed into the back of the vehicle. 
  
 Criticism of Uber’s licensing and screening procedures was heightened when it emerged that the driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav, had been detained for seven months on suspicion of raping another female passenger three years ago. That case was ultimately closed and Mr. Yadav was acquitted, said Madhur Verma, the deputy commissioner of the police for the northern district of New Delhi. 
  
 Regional authorities followed up late on Monday by banning all taxi services based on smartphone apps, which may result in the closure of as many as 20 popular services. 
  
 Since its launch last December, Uber had gained a large following among young, tech-savvy women in Delhi, where finding safe transportation after dark is especially difficult. |||||
Output:
In 2011, driver Shiv Kumar Yadav allegedly did the following: picked up a fare who was heading home from her job at a bar, altered the route, and raped her; he spent seven months in jail before he reached a settlement with his accuser and was acquitted. Today, Yadav appeared in court, having been accused a second time of raping a passenger, this time on Friday night as an Uber driver. Now, both Uber—which has operated in New Delhi for 12 months—and the Delhi government are coming under fire. The Transport Department has banned Uber in New Delhi and surrounding urban areas on the heels of the alleged crime, the New York Times reports. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick vowed his company would help "bring the perpetrator to justice," but he also shifted some of the blame back to Indian officials, noting Uber would work with the government to establish clear background checks that are "currently absent in their commercial transportation licensing programs." The Times notes, by way of the company's blog, that such background checks on US shores are pretty involved, with the last seven years of a would-be driver's criminal record reviewed; the Verge reports that both federal and county checks are now required. Police have said no background checks were performed on Yadav, and a GPS device hadn't been installed in his car, as required for commercial taxis by law. The BBC reports people tried to assault Yadav as he was led out of court by police; he has been remanded into custody for three days.
