"We have asked him to submit documents under eight pointers which include details of all the taxis amid its drivers working with them and how they checked their antecedents and the details of the directors of the company," said a senior police official. Alexander, along with other senior Uber executives, also visited the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) office yesterday after being summoned by it.
Delhi Police, which has already filed an FIR against Uber charging it with cheating its customers and defying government orders, has been questioning senior Uber officials for the last three days.
