In December 2017, almost three years after the Uber rape incident in Delhi, the survivor in the case filed a new defamation suit in the US after the cab aggregator 'investigated her'. The survivor settled after she received compensation from Uber – in both the original compensation case filed in 2015, and the defamation suit for invasion of privacy.
Data from The Uber Files – internal emails and documents obtained by The Guardian and shared with the Indian Express – which is a part of the International Consortium of Investigative journalists – revealed that Uber's top executives 'illegally' accessed her medical records.
