Prosecutors: Uber Driver ‘Kidnapped, Terrorized, and Assaulted’ Female Passenger

An Uber driver has been accused of kidnapping and assaulting a woman during her ride home, according to a Justice Department announcement and local reports. Harbir Parmar picked up the woman in Manhattan and was supposed to drop her off in White Plains, New York, but switched her destination to Boston, Mass., while she was sleeping, federal prosecutors allege. When she woke up, “the vehicle was on the side of the road and Parmar was in the backseat of the vehicle with her, with his hand under her shirt touching the top of her breast,” a complaint states.
