Public Prosecution said it is investigating Delmon post, an online news website, for allegedly publishing a fabricated news piece on a meeting between local societies and a foreign party.
Without naming the person under investigation, the Prosecution said they had released the person on bail, pending further investigation.
The statement said he gained his release on “the guarantee of his place of residence.”
Interior Ministry, in a statement, earlier announced referring a person in charge of an online news website to the Public Prosecution for publishing fake news.
The investigation follows the statements issued by members in the said meeting denying claims made by the Delmon Post.
The Public Prosecution statement said that the news published on the website is bound to inflict damage to the public interest of Bahrain.
Prosecutors questioned the man facing the accusation in the presence of the President of the Bahrain Journalists Association.
