Government mulling ban on all unregistered cab-services

Uber was banned on Monday after a driver it hired six months ago was arrested for allegedly raping a female passenger on Friday.

The six radio taxi services that are registered are Easy Cabs, Mega Cabs, Meru, Chanson, Yo Cabs and Air Cabs.

"All other transport/taxi service providers through web-based technology, who are not recognised, are prohibited from providing such services in the NCT of Delhi to public till they get license/permission from the Transport Department," a government order said, effectively saying these services have to go off the roads.

Meanwhile, US-based cab company Uber has also been booked for cheating by the Delhi Police in connection with the alleged rape of a 27-year-old finance company executive in its cab by the driver on Friday night here.

BJP MLA thrashes 15 junkies for eve-teasing women

Eye witnesses claimed that BJP MLA Sudarshan Gupta beat up 15 miscreants at the Rukmani Devi Park near Malaharganj police station when women complained that the junkies had eve-teased them and school girls.

The women too reportedly joined the MLA and thrashed the drug addicts.

"These people have disturbed the peace in Malaharganj area. I have warned them that if they were noticed at public places henceforth, I will catch them and hand them over to the police," Gupta told reporters.

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesman Narendra Saluja said the incident showed that the law and order situation in the state had turned grim in the BJP rule and illegal businesses like sale of narcotics thrive right under the nose of police.

Saluja, however said that Gupta taking the law into his hands was incorrect. Like a law abiding public representative, Gupta should have ensured that the police took a stern action against the miscreants, Saluja said.

"Promt action will be taken if any such incident is reported to us by public in the Malaharganj area," Additional Superintendent of Police Aditya Pratap Singh said.
