As Uber's reach widens, so do the company's legal troubles.

Several southeast Asian countries are questioning Uber's legality in light of allegations that a driver raped a young female passenger in India.

New Delhi has banned the ride-sharing service, and Thailand soon followed suit. The company is also facing scrutiny in Vietnam, Singapore and Indonesia. And Indian police are reportedly considering taking legal action against Uber, claiming the company hasn't run proper background checks.

Officials are concerned that drivers picking up passengers from the Uber app in these countries aren't adhering to the same licensing regulations as other drivers.

Nevertheless, Uber recently raised more funding and is now valued at $40 billion.

Here's a look at the dozens of cities the company now operates in:

The Netherlands banned Uber because drivers don't have special licenses to allow them to pick up passengers. Uber is planning to appeal the ban, according to Reuters.

Portland sued Uber on Monday shortly after the company began operations in the city, claiming that it's an "illegal, unregulated transportation service."

Uber suspended operations in Nevada last month after a district court issued a preliminary injunction preventing the service from providing rides across the state. The injunction was reportedly spurred by regulatory concerns, according to Reuters.
