A video surfaced on the web on Saturday, purportedly showing a pornographic clip being played on a LED screen at city’s busy Rajiv Chowk Metro Station in Delhi, prompting DMRC to launch a probe into the matter.
The ‘clip’ can be seen playing on one of the screens of a giant video wall, a grid of 12 LED screens. While some commuters can be seen passing by it without noticing, some of them can bee seen filming it on mobile phones.
However, when presented with the clip, Delhi Metro refused to acknowledge the bungle and said the screen was under commissioning with a private contractor.
“We will check all the details of the testing and commissioning process of the contractor to check whether any such clip was played on the LED screen at Rajiv Chowk station and take adequate safeguards action,” the DMRC said in a statement.
Rajiv Chowk Metro Station, located at Connaught Place in central Delhi, falls on the busy intersection of Blue Line and Yellow Line of the metro network, and receives a heavy footfall daily.
