Uber India has accused one of its former employees of embezzling over INR 1 Cr by putting fake driver profiles in the company’s list of drivers, according to an FIR filed by the cab aggregator with Gurugram Police.
The employee, Viney Gera, allegedly tampered with the list of drivers on the company’s server and added 388 fake drivers. These driver profiles were linked to the 18 bank accounts where the funds were transferred. According to a PTI report, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) found the allegations prima facie true and, on its recommendation, a FIR was registered against Gera at Sushant Lok Police Station on Monday (January 30).
