A surprising incident occurred at Khulna Railway Station late Sunday night when a digital billboard displayed a politically charged message, sparking confusion and leading to the arrest of the operator in charge of the screen.

The message, which read: "The Chatra League will return in a dangerous form again; Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu; Sheikh Hasina will return again," appeared on the screen after midnight, catching the attention of station visitors and officials alike.

The slogans, referring to political figures and parties, were unexpected and raised concerns among local authorities. In response, the station management immediately called the police, and Aslam Hossain, the digital screen operator responsible for the billboard, was arrested.

The police are investigating the situation to understand how the political message ended up on the screen. Authorities have not yet determined if the slogans were placed intentionally or if it was a result of a technical error.

The incident has raised questions about the security of public screens in places like train stations. Local officials have assured that they will take extra measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Aslam Hossain remains in police custody as the investigation continues to determine exactly what happened.
