There have been many instances in the past when Government officials have been caught watching pornographic clips on their cell phones, most being during an ongoing official meeting. All of these news met with a lot of backlash from the general public and other officials alike. There have been quite a number of suspensions for the same, as well.
Now, news has surfaced of the latest perpetrator, Anil Sharma, Bhopal Municipal Zonal Officer.
Sharma was caught on tape watching an explicit video on his cell phone, and a recording of the video has gone viral.

Alok Sharma, Mayor of Bhopal, said that Anil Sharma has been suspended because of his act during a meeting that was held to discuss problems and revenue issues. The Bhopal Municipal Corporation has also ordered a probe into this matter.
With the number of politicians that have been caught watching porn during important meetings, one wonders why that can’t be done in the comfort of their homes, and not while they should be focusing on work.
You DO know that the ban on porn has been lifted, right?
