A woman who sued Uber after allegedly being raped by a driver for the ride-hailing service in India has voluntarily withdrawn her lawsuit, according to a court filing Tuesday.
The 26-year-old woman filed her lawsuit in January in the US, about a month after she was allegedly raped and assaulted while a passenger on an Uber ride in India's capital territory of New Delhi. Her lawsuit said the company failed to provide adequate safety protocols.
The woman's alleged attacker, Shiv Kumar Yadav, was quickly arrested and confessed to the crime one week later during interrogations, according to Dehli police. He is currently awaiting trial in India.
