Delhi Metro Tuesday asked commuters to "maintain decorum, discipline and etiquette" after another video surfaced online showing couples getting intimate in a train and on station premises.

Delhi Metro earlier this month filed a complaint after a footage of couples getting intimate at Metro stations was uploaded on porn sites.

"The DMRC appeals to the public to maintain decorum, discipline and etiquette while travelling on the mass transit system," Anuj Dayal, Delhi Metro's executive director for corporate communications, told IANS.

The new video clip that surfaced Tuesday shows couples getting intimate on the stairs of a Metro station and in a train.

The Delhi Metro has forwarded the footage for further investigation.

"The DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corp) has passed on this video clip to its chief security commissioner for investigation. The earlier video clips of a similar nature are also being examined by the Cyber Crime Cell of Delhi Police," Dayal said.

Over 250 clips of couples in near-empty trains were made into two- to eight-minute videos and uploaded on porn sites.

Before complaining to the cyber cell, DMRC blamed the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) for the leakage as it monitors (closed-circuit television) CCTV footage.

However, CISF refuted the allegations and clarified that they are just the "monitoring agency".

The DMRC, the city's lifeline, ferries nearly two million passengers on weekdays and makes over 2,800 trips daily.
