The taxi driver accused of murdering a British millionaire in India has been paraded in front of the world's media by police in Punjab.


(I am sure I know him.)

Sukhdev Singh covered his face as officers took him to a police station in Jalandhar, and he charged with the murder of Wolverhampton 54-year-old Ranjit Singh Power.

The father-of-two's body was uncovered in woodland in northern India on Sunday following a search. His family had raised the alarm when he failed to arrive at Birmingham airport on his return flight from the country earlier this month

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Thursday it had asked Paris for more information on a new French law on taxis and chauffeured cars following a complaint from mobile phone taxi-booking service Uber.

Launched four years ago, the California-based company has expanded across Europe but has run into opposition from regular taxi drivers who say it breaks local taxi rules and violates licensing, insurance and safety regulations.

A number of European courts have banned Uber's unlicensed taxi service, UberPOP. The latest ban came earlier this week in Milan.

France's so-called Thevenoud law requires chauffeured cars to return to a base between fares, restricts their use of software to find clients in the street and banned unlicensed service, among other measures.

In November Uber filed a complaint with the Commission against the French law, arguing it favored regular taxis at Uber's expense and that France should have notified Brussels of the new law.
The Commission has written to the French government asking it for more information on the law, a Commission spokesman said.

"This latest letter is basically another nail in the coffin of an anti-consumer, anti-technology and archaically protectionist law," Uber's head of public policy Mark MacGann said on Thursday.
Ultimately Brussels could take France to court if it finds that the law breaks the EU treaties.
The request for information, however, does not mean that the Commission will launch formal proceedings against France.
