Sichuan student punished for false accusations

BEIJING: Sichuan University announced it would take disciplinary action on Wednesday against a female graduate student who claimed a man on social media was “creepshotting” her on a subway train.
The student surnamed Zhang apologized earlier this month after claiming she had been “creepshot” by a man on a subway train, even though in a video she posted on social media the man proved his innocence by showing his photo album to her. The incident sparked anger among netizens. The university said in a statement that the video and her remarks had a bad influence. The school also said it had contacted the police and communicated with the student to verify the situation. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
