Uber is suing Indian rival Ola, alleging he has created more than 90,000 fake accounts to prevent his business, and frustrate their drivers.

The US company claims that the counterfeit bills were used to make more than 400 thousand of false orders, which eventually canceled.

He filed a lawsuit in the Delhi High Court this month requesting an injunction against Ola and $ 7.4m (£ 5.2m) in damages.

OlaCabs denies the allegations, calling them "frivolous and false."

"It is not beyond our imagination, it is an attempt to divert attention from the current market realities, where Uber has faced serious setbacks," the company said in a statement.

The Uber, considered the most valuable in the world of start-up, declined to comment beyond their legal petitions.

The struggle for the transport market in India has warmed over the past few months, with Uber to invest $ 1 billion over the past nine months.

Ola, who with the support of SoftBank Group in Japan and hedge fund Tiger Global Management, is part of the alliance, aimed at to reduce the dominance of the market in Uber.

Other members include LYFT San Francisco, Southeast Asia and China to capture the rival Didi Kuaidi.

The hearing at the request of the Indian Uber has been set for 14 September.
