HIV-infection rumor lead to detention in Beijing.[File photo] |
A man has been put under criminal detention for spreading an HIV-infection scare, police in Beijing said on Thursday.
The Beijing municipal public security bureau said in a statement that it was informed Tuesday that a Sina Weibo blogger used the service to spread an HIV-infection rumor.
The microblog said "several people have entered Beijing with needle tubes filled with the HIV virus," and "there are people who have been pricked by needles of AIDS infectors."
Beijing police authorities later confirmed the information was false and detained writer of the microblog, a man surnamed Li, on Wednesday afternoon.
