Reports say that it was posted online by the India-based advertising agency hired by Ford.

Ford Motor Company said it regretted the incident and called the images “contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within Ford”.

“We deeply regret this incident and agree with our agency partners that it should have never happened,” Ford said.
