Furious over the incident, Karat reacted, "Companies like Uber promote something else and their practice is wholly contradictory. The accused was imprisoned for 7 months and had been recruited without any verification." Karat was reacting to the rape of 27-year-old woman who had used the Uber cab service over the weekend. The CPI-M leader endorsed the view that Uber should have undertaken a profile check of Shiv Kumar, the accused driver, before hiring here.
