An unnamed Indian woman has sued Uber in federal court in California, accusing the startup of being negligent and creating the circumstances that she claims led to her being raped after taking a car ride in New Delhi in December 2014.

The company has been under fire in India ever since the rape allegation first surfaced, and it was barred from operating in the Indian capital city.

Since then, Uber has restarted operations despite the ban and attempted to register as a bona fide taxi company, but it had its application recently rejected by local authorities. Earlier this week, Reuters reported that the company would forgo its standard 20 percent cut that it takes from India-based drivers in order to keep operating.

Jane Doe’s civil complaint, which was filed on Thursday, argues:

Had Uber not sacrificed customer safety for the sake of profit and expansion, and actually cared about who it was employing to drive its cars rather than being preoccupied with claiming its share of the India taxi market, Plaintiff Doe would not have been viciously raped. In fact, a basic background check would have revealed that [Uber driver Shuv Kumar] Yadav had a known propensity for violent and deviant conduct, including numerous arrests for rape and assault, which should have disqualified him from working as an Uber driver. Moreover, had Uber bothered to review the paperwork and contact information Yadav submitted to become an Uber driver, and applied the slightest level of scrutiny, Uber would have easily discovered that Yadav was providing fraudulent documentation and false information. Quite simply, Uber breached its duty to protect its customers in exchange for its desire to inflate its bottom-line, resulting in Plaintiff’s brutal kidnap and rape at the hands of a known rapist.

Uber did not immediately respond to Ars’ request for comment.
