On Friday, a 27 year-old was raped allegedly by an Uber cab driver. Even as the police was hot on the accused's trail, the government banned Uber in Delhi leading to floods of reaction. While Uber clearly did not have all the requisite security measures in place, the government's action elicited mixed reactions from people.

Twitter users too vented on the micro-blogging site with a few supporting the ban, many questioning it and most bringing the focus on the Centre's past actions when it came to its own kindred. Uber has become the target of Twitter users' mockery after the grave lapses in their system to ensure users safety.

While a few agreed to the ban, they also questioned lack of security measures for women. 

Many felt the ban was knee-jerk reaction by the government and an inadequate response to the situation.

People also questioned the timing and motive behind the ban.

There were speculations on what grounds Uber was banned, particularly the violation of Radio Taxi Act, 2006.

The matter was debated hotly as Twitter users were quick to raise Centre's inaction when Union Minister Nihal Chand Meghwal was accused of rape.
