An Uber cab driver has been arrested for molesting a woman passenger, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Rajiv, 36, has been arrested from his residence following the woman's complaint.
Police said the 32-year-old woman who works in the ground staff at the IGI airport had hired a cab to return to her residence in Palam area after work.

When the woman objected, Rajiv said he had to give a lift to some other passenger who also booked the cab. Despite the woman telling him that she had not booked the cab on a sharing basis, he did not listen and instead continued driving in the other direction. As she tried to get out, he caught hold of her hand and tried to pull her in.
The victim then informed the police control room and the police reached the spot and registered a case against the cab driver, said the officer.
