New Delhi | A day after TV screens installed at platform number 10 at Patna railway station played a porn clip, the Railways on Monday said it has cancelled the contract of the agency responsible for relaying advertisements on the screens.

Passengers at the Patna Junction railway station were in for a shock on Sunday when TV screens installed at the platforms displayed a porn video clip.

In a statement, Virendra Kumar, Chief Public Relations Officer, East Central Railway (ECR), said that two FIRs have been registered against the agency, one each by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Government Railway Police (GRP).

"A serious note was taken of the lapse when the matter was reported. The tender awarded to the operator concerned has been terminated forthwith and he is being blacklisted for any future contracts", said Virendra Kumar.

"All TV screens installed by the operator have been disconnected. The RPF and GRP have registered separate FIRs in connection with the embarrassing incident. Investigations into it are on", he added.

"Taking the abhorrent incident that took place on platform number 10 of Patna Junction on March 19 very seriously... Two FIRs have been registered against Dutta Studio Company Private Limited. One FIR was lodged by RPF and the other by GRP under the IT Act.

"Also, action is being taken to blacklist the said agency by terminating its contract and all TV screens operated by it have been disconnected/logged out. The incident is being investigated by RPF and GRP so that legal action can be taken," the statement from ECR said.

The clip which was purportedly recorded by a passenger and the blurred version went viral on the web.

Dutta Studio, a Kolkata-based agency, had been contracted to make announcements on the TV screens about arrival and departure of passenger trains at the junction.
