It was reported that the video was played by the driver at a time when the bus was full of passengers and it was realised that the video was played on purpose because even though the passengers brought this to the notice of those responsible it was being played continuously.
A passenger in the bus had called the 119 and subsequently 2 mobile police officers on patrol attached to Aralaganwila police had stopped the bus and taken both the driver and the conductor of the bus into custody. What the driver and conductor told was that it was a music DVD video that was so played and that they were not aware that it contained video clips of an obscene nature.
The public however complained that these obscene videos were played after knowing the times when young females were going in the bus.
