THIS is the bizarre moment hackers managed to beam hardcore porn onto a screen at a bustling train station in front of shocked commuters.

Cyber pranksters managed to play the sex film in front of scores of people in Connaught Place metro station – the busiest in the Indian capital Delhi.

Red-faced rail authorities have now launched a probe, an official said Sunday, after footage of the incident was shared widely online.

Commuters were stopped in their tracks at the station in the Indian capital's central business district last weekend when the X-rated footage began playing.

It was beamed onto a large screen that normally broadcasts adverts for luxury property or credit card schemes.

Dozens of people captured the moment on their mobile phones and the images have since gone viral on social media.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) spokesman Mohinder Yadav said authorities were trying to identify three suspects believed to be behind the incident last Sunday.

DMRC said the offending screen was operated by a private company and had an unsecure WiFi network, leaving it vulnerable.

A statement from the corporation said: "As per CCTV footage, three men have run (the) porn clip through their mobile on this TV."

The DMRC added that the contractor in charge of the screen would be required to have password protection from now on.

The incident made headlines in the conservative country where talk about sex or even public displays of affection are seen by many as taboo.

Mainstream cinema is stripped of raunchiness by India's censor board, which once muted the word "lesbian" from a Hindi-language film.

The board has also blocked the release of a toned-down version of erotic film Fifty Shades of Grey and deemed two James Bond kissing scenes unsuitable for an Indian audience.
