The Bantwal town police registered a suo motu case against miscreants who had allegedly stopped a sleeper coach bus in Dasakodi near Mani to take a man and woman of different faiths to task for travelling together on Thursday night.

Superintendent of Police Rishikesh Sonawane said that as none came forward to file a complaint, the police registered a suo motu case against the unidentified miscreants.

The miscreants, acting on a tip off that a man and a woman from different faiths were travelling together in a bus, had stopped the vehicle.

The investigation is progressing.
