NEW DELHI: A Delhi Police official said there was no occasion for the team investigating the 2014 rape of an Uber passenger to share her medical records with company executive Eric Alexander as the latter was only a witness. Alexander and others at Uber retained a “physical copy of plaintiff ’s medical records until in or around December 2015,” it says.Deputy commissioner of police Madhur Verma told ET: “Alexander was a mere witness in the case. He had nothing do with the medical records of the victim.” Hence, Verma added, there was no occasion for the investigating officer of the case to share the medical reports with Alexander.Another senior Delhi cop, requesting anonymity, indicated the possibility of Alexander getting the reports from the accused. “Since the charge sheet was filed in less than 20 days, a copy (of the medical reports) was submitted to the court which subsequently would have been supplied to the accused. The driver was convicted and sentenced to life in 2015.
