Bantwal: In an anticlimax of sorts for people indulging in moral policing here, a young lady, who had been taken to task for traveling with a young man from a different religion, reportedly snapped back at the activists.
The incident took place in a private transport bus from Mangaluru to Bengaluru, when it reached Dasakodi near Kalladka in Bantwal taluk on Thursday.
The video of the young lady countering the jeers of the Sangh Parivar members has also gone viral on social media.
The Sangh Parivar members stopped the bus in Dasakodi and reportedly harassed the youngsters belonging to different religions for traveling together. This led to a verbal tussle between the Sangh Parivar members and the passengers in the bus, with the young lady daringly retorting to the words of the Sangh Parivar members, said sources.
On learning of the incident, the local police officers rushed to Dasakodi and took the Sangh Parivar activists and the youngsters to the police station. After speaking to both parties, the police also called up the parents of the youngsters and sent the latter home with their family members.

Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
