An Uber driver from Howard
Beach was sentenced for
taking a passenger to New
England aft er she fell asleep in the
car and sending false destination
information to the company on
multiple occasions, prosecutors
announced Monday.
Harbir Parmar, 25, pleaded guilty
on March 11 to kidnapping and wire
fraud. He was sentenced to three
years in prison followed by three
years of supervised release and was
ordered to pay $3,642 in restitution
and forfeiture.
“Many people rely on rideshare
apps to navigate New York safely,”
said Geoffrey S. Berman, U.S.
Attorney for the Southern District
of New York. “But when a woman
hailed an ridesharing car driven by
Harbir Parmar, her ride home took
a turn for the worst. With Parmar’s
lengthy prison term, he will no
longer be able to take advantage of
ridesharing customers.”
According to charges, on Feb. 21,
2018, Parmar picked up a woman
in Manhattan who ordered a ride
to White Plains. When the woman
fell asleep in the backseat, Parmar
changed her destination to an
address in Boston, Massachusetts,
and proceeded to drive to that
location.
When the victim woke up, the car
was in Connecticut.
When the victim asked to be
brought to White Plains or to the
police station, Parmar refused and
dropped her off on the side of I-95 in
Branford, Connecticut. The victim
went to a nearby convenience store
where she sought assistance.
Charges state that from
December 2016 and February 2018,
Parmar sent false information
about destinations to the rideshare
company through the mobile app
on multiple occasions. At times,
he also sent false information
about the application of a cleaning
fee to be applied to the accounts
of the customers, who then filed
complaints with Uber about
being overcharged for their
rides. These instances have
resulted in thousands of dollars in
improper charges to the customers’
accounts.
