Patna, Apr 18 (IANS): A month after porn video was played on television screens at Patna Junction, a similar content flashed on an LED public awareness screen in Bhagalpur, sources said here on Tuesday.

The LED display screen was installed at Ambedkar Chowk near Bhagalpur railway station which flashed a vulgar content on Monday.

Soon, a large number of people assembled there with some capturing the message on mobile phones and circulating it on social media. The district administration of Bhagalpur immediately swung into action and removed the display board and message.

An investigation revealed that Bhagalpur municipal Corporation had given a contract to Jeevan Jagrity society for the beautification of the city. It has installed LED display boards at some places of the city to make people aware of traffic rules.

Every LED display board was operated from a control room. The society president Ajay Kumar claimed that it was hacked by some persons. Hence, the vulgar message displayed on the screen.

Jawahar Prasad Yadav, the SHO of Kotwali police station said: "We have registered an FIR against unknown persons on the application of Jeewan Jagriti Society president Dr Ajay Kumar. It was hacked from another place. We are investigating the incident. No one has been arrested so far."

Earlier on March 20, a porn video was telecast on the LED screens of Patna Junction leading to a huge uproar.
