The incident took place in Jehangirpuri of North-West Delhi on March 3d when the officer went to the residence of the driver after his wife called police and complained that she was being beaten up by him.

After receiving the call, two officers went to the residence of the truck driver where they saw the man beating up his wife, sources said.

One officer attended to the woman while the other tried to stop the truck driver from creating a scene, they said, adding it led to a scuffle between the two.

Both of them fell on the ground and the driver bit both legs of the officer. The bite was so hard that the officer's legs began bleeding, they said.

The next day the officer went to the residence of the driver where his wife "confirmed" that her husband is HIV- positive.

Articles like this only fan the flames of fear about HIV and causes ostracization of HIV victims. Editor.
