Accused doctor is released on bail

Local authorities told to revisit case, as evidence was 'not strong enough'

A doctor accused of damaging the reputation of a pharmaceutical company through false information was released on bail on Tuesday, and the case was sent back to public security authorities for further investigation.

The People's Procuratorate in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region ordered prosecutors in Liangcheng county to return the case to the public security department "because the facts and evidence were unclear and not strong enough".
