- Taxi business is heavily regulated in India and anything like Uber is likely to be illegal.
- India does not have any consolidated crime database. Background verification generally means asking the person to get a certificate from local police station. (Which anyone can get by paying a bribe).
I am surprised that Uber was actually operating in India. Clearly they were staying under the radar and as usual the government officials were too incompetent to understand what Uber is.
I think in this case Uber is clearly liable for a civil suite and must compensate the victim for lack of due diligence and fraud.
