The boy forges a screenshot of a news program on China Central Television, adding a photo of his headmaster and changing the caption.
(ECNS)-- A student at a vocational school in Sichuan province was arrested for rumoring that his headmaster had been caught by police in Dongguan's recent sex industry crackdown, the China West City Daily reported.
The boy, 17, posted the rumor on Feb 15, two days before the new term, because he didn't want to go back to school after the winter holiday.
He also forged a screenshot of a news program on China Central Television, adding a photo of his headmaster and changing the caption.
The post quickly went viral, and the student deleted it and asked netizens to stop reposting.
On Feb 17, the headmaster appeared at the school's opening ceremony, disproving the rumor.
Two days later, the boy was found out by the school's security department.
