Uber, a US-based cab service provider which was banned earlier this month by Delhi Government, on Monday gave a representation before the transport department assuring that they will comply with the new rules for plying of its taxis in the national capital.

The app-based cab booking service was marred by controversy when one of its drivers allegedly raped a 27-year-old finance executive on December 5 after she booked the taxi from Vasant Kunj to her house in Inderlok using her smartphone.

The company's representatives are believed to have assured senior officials of transport department that it will comply with government's new rules for regulating its service in the city.
