Indian Uber Driver Sentenced To Three Years In Prison For kidnapping Female US Passenger

New York: In America, the Uber car driver of Indian origin has been sentenced to three years in prison for kidnapping a female passenger and leaving him in a deserted place. He has also been charged to pay a fine of more than 3000 dollars. The US District Judge Vincent Briccetti imposed three-year sentence on charges of kidnapping and wire fraud on Harbir after he had pled guilty in March this year.

Harbir has to be kept under surveillance for three years after the release of jail, besides being released.He has also been charged to pay a fine of US 3,642 dollar.

The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman said, “Many people rely on rideshare apps to navigate New York safely. But when a woman hailed the ridesharing car driven by Parmar, her ride home took a turn for the worst. With Parmar’s lengthy prison term, he will no longer be able to take advantage of ridesharing customers.”
