A 17-year-old girl from China’s Jiangxi province has been detained by police after posting online photos of herself and a group of friends snorting the illegal drug ketamine.
After a popular nightclub in Xinyu, a prefecture-level city of around 1.3 million people, had its business licence suspended for six months as part of a crackdown on drugs and prostitution in the city, a series of photos of young women snorting ketamine and dancing in a private room went viral online.
According to a post on the official microblog of the Xinyu City Public Security Bureau, a 17-year-old surnamed Wang was detained on October 4 after the photos were brought to the authorities’ attention. She admitted posing for the photos in April of this year.
