Indian government has launched free Wi-Fi internet service at several railway stations across the country to help the public but it is mostly used for watching porn videos at Patna railway station, according to officials.
The railway station in Patna, Bihar, tops internet search ever since free Wi-Fi service was introduced, followed by Bengaluru (Karnataka) and New Delhi. However, official of RailTel, a public sector undertaking, has said that most of the people at Patna station use the service for watching porn movies.
