Indian officials are investigating claims that a fake doctor in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh has infected at least 33 people with HIV with a used syringe.
The BBC reports the unqualified practitioner allegedly used one syringe, which he recycled to treat colds and the flu.
Federal health officials will visit where the incident occurred, to investigate the matter.
It is not clear how many of the confirmed cases were contracted from the alleged used syringe.
The 33 people confirmed with HIV were among 566 people who were tested at a screening camp organised by the government.
