The Uber driver was sentenced in 2015 to life in prison

Uber Technologies and an Indian woman who had accused its top executives of improperly obtaining her medical records after a company driver raped her have agreed to settle a civil US lawsuit. When contacted, Uber confirmed the suit which says a settlement has been reached between all defendants, and Uber expects the case to be dismissed in January. Terms of the settlement were, however, not disclosed.In 2014, the woman was raped by an Uber driver in New Delhi. She had filed a lawsuit earlier and later "voluntarily" withdrew it. In June this year, she filed another case against the ride-hailing company and its embattled CEO Travis Kalanick for "unlawfully" obtaining her medical records and engaging in offensive conspiracy theories about the brutal incident.
