Uber's reason for firing Singhal is his apparent non claiming of the issue despite extensive background investigation prior to joining Uber.

Singhal claims his innocence over the issue and written on his statement said "Harassment is unacceptable in any setting. I certainly want everyone to know that I do not condone and have not committed such behavior. In my 20-year career, I've never been accused of anything like this before and the decision to leave Google was my own."
