New Delhi: In a startling incident, a government agency's advertisement board in Connaught Place (CP), Delhi, displayed a pornographic clip, causing public outrage. 

The digital signboard in H Block unexpectedly began showing explicit content around 10:30 PM, catching the attention of a passerby who quickly recorded the incident and alerted the police. 

The Delhi Police have registered a case under the IT Act, following the complaint.

In a similar incident from 2017, commuters at Rajiv Chowk Metro station were left stunned when a pornographic clip played on an LED screen for nearly 10 minutes. 

The screen, intended for advertisements, unexpectedly began displaying the explicit content, which continued until alert commuters notified DMRC officials. 

Several passengers recorded the incident on their phones, leading to widespread sharing on social media and prompting the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to launch an inquiry.

In 2015, passengers at a bus stand in Kalpetta, Wayanad, were stunned when an adult clip played on a television meant for advertisements. 

The explicit content continued for 30 minutes, during which a witness captured the scene and later shared it on social media. Some passengers attempted to cover the TV with a cloth, while women and children chose to leave the area.
