Porn movie shown on Bangladesh airport screen

Bangladeshi authorities launched an investigation after a porn movie was aired on a large display screen at the country's main airport, a magistrate said.

Hundreds of travelers and waiting friends and relatives at Shahjalal International Airport’s main terminal were shocked as the movie was aired for five minutes, magistrate Siddiqa Akhter said.

The display screen usually shows recorded documentaries about the culture and geography of Bangladesh, a conservative Muslim country.

"The operator has been jailed instantly for two months. We have also summoned the owners of the cable firm to investigate the incident. We have to find out whether any criminal intent was involved," Akhter said.
