Adult Video Runs On Digital Ad Billboard At Connaught Place; NDMC Responds, Launches Probe

Porn Video At Connaught Place Board: The Delhi Police reported a porn video that appeared on a digital advertisement board in Connaught Place.

Connaught Place Incident May Have Been Caused By Hacking

The short video clip was removed from the board with the help of officials from the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). The NDMC, which oversees the area, suggested that the incident might have been caused by “hacking” using advanced technology, according to PTI.

The NDMC explained that it operates two types of panels in its areas: one for advertisements and another for interactive touchscreens.

The statement said, "Both panels follow international standards and are managed by a secure server with firewall and antivirus protection." We also offer free hotspots for public use in NDMC areas." The civic body added that this incident is unique and is working to find out how the firewall was breached.

Similar Video Scandal At Patna Railway Station Last Year

An unnamed police officer said that a case has been filed under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and investigations are underway to identify the people responsible for the incident.

Last year, an inappropriate video accidentally played for three minutes on several advertisement screens at platform number 10 at Patna railway junction, causing a lot of anger.

The video started playing on multiple screens at about 9:30 am and kept running for three minutes before it was removed. Some passengers recorded the whole event and posted it on social media.
