In a statement, Virendra Kumar, the Chief Public Relations Officer of East Central Railway (ECR), claimed that two FIRs had been filed against the organization, one each by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Government Railway Police (GRP).
“Taking very seriously the disgusting event that occurred on platform number 10 of Patna Junction on March 19… There are two FIRs against Dutta Studio Business Private Limited. Under the IT Act, RPF filed one FIR and GRP filed the other.
Railway Protection Force (RPF) authorities interrupted the broadcast.
“Actions are also being taken to blacklist the agency by terminating its contract, and all TV screens controlled by the agency have been disconnected/logged out. RPF and GRP are investigating the event so that legal action may be taken, according to a statement from ECR.
The reportedly passenger-recorded video and its blurred version became popular on the Internet.
Dutta Studio, a Calcutta-based company, was tasked with announcing the arrival and departure of passenger trains at the junction on the television screens.
