A 31-year-old man confessed to the police on Monday that he had unprotected sex with around 300 women, after learning that he had contracted AIDS, according to a New Indian Express report.
Joseph James, a Secundrabad
based auto-driver, was caught by the police on Monday night for stealing gold
from his friend’s house. During interrogation, he confessed to the crime and
the police later recovered the stolen items.
“We recovered from his
possession five tolas (approximately 50 grams) of gold”, M Ravichandan Reddy,
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Malkajgiri) told the PTI.
However, when the police
pressed hard to learn about other crimes committed by him, James confessed that
he went on a sex spree after testing positive for HIV eight months ago.
“The medical examination
has confirmed that he (the accused) is HIV positive,” Reddy said.
“The auto driver also
claimed he visits prostitutes daily and has illicit affairs with several other
women, with whom he practiced unsafe sex even after realising about his
disease,” Uppal inspector Khaja Moinuddin told a leading Indian daily.
However, the police have
‘not received any complaint from affected women’, the PTI said, quoting police
sources.
The accused has been
remanded in judicial custody.
