New Delhi, Jan 28 (IANS) A forensic expert Wednesday told a court here that DNA profiles generated from various materials recovered from a taxi have matched with those of the woman who was raped allegedly by the driver of a Uber cab.

Testifying as a prosecution witness in the case, senior scientific officer in the Central Forensic Science Laboratory B.K. Mahapatra told Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja that DNA profiles matched with either the victim or accused Shiv Kumar Yadav.

Yadav, 32, was arrested jointly by Delhi and Uttar Pradesh Police Dec 7 last year from his hideout in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. Yadav raped the woman Dec 5, 2014, when she was returning home in west Delhi's Inderlok.

A police officer from Mathura told the court that his team helped Delhi Police to arrest Yadav.

The court also recorded the statement of an officer of Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri police station, who also handed down documents related to Yadav's alleged involvement in other cases.

Delhi Police have earlier disclosed that Yadav was involved in a molestation in 2003 and rape case in 2013 in Mainpuri. He was arrested and charge sheeted in both the cases. He was out on bail.

The trial in the rape case is being conducted on a day-to-day basis.

The court Jan 13 framed charges of rape and causing grievous bodily harm or endangering the life of a woman, kidnapping a woman, criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt under various sections of the Indian Penal Code against Yadav.
