Bengaluru, Dec 22: Uber, a cab service has registered a criminal case against one of its employees, Arshad Basha for allegedly swindling the firm of Rs 30 lakh since February 2016, in Bengaluru. According to a Times of India report, the matter came to light after an internal probe on October 25, this year. Arshad Basha had deposited an amount worth Rs 30 lakh into an account that belonged to his close associate, identified as Saif Ali Khan.

On Tuesday, a case against Arshad Basha, and his associate Saif Ali Khan was filed by the general manager of the cab aggregator, Christian Freese, with the HSR Layout police. Uber has a policy of paying monetary incentives to people who introduce driver partners to the fleet. They deposit the money directly into the beneficiary’s bank account. Uber’s probe revealed that Saif had never introduced a single driver to Uber and had still deposited all the money into a single account between February 1, 2016, and October 25, 2017.
