Patna, March 1: Strict action will be taken against double-meaning Bhojpuri songs and obscene music videos, Bihar minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav said on Wednesday.

"Police are bound to initiate action if a complaint is filed in this regard. The Special Branch of Bihar Police has already issued instructions to district police units over this," said Yadav, in reply to a calling attention motion. Strict action will be taken against those who indulge in making such songs and videos, he said. Nirahua: Bhojpuri Cinema’s Double Meaning Dialogues Will End Now.
