Couples having sex on a moving motorbike caught by police after picture went viral

A loved-up couple who were photographed having sex on a moving motorbike were caught after the picture went viral.

Police tracked down the pair after a shocked passerby spotted them travelling along a public highway in Goa, India.

The picture appears to show the man dressed only in a T-shirt and a pair of socks.

The picture, which was posted on Facebook by MP Vishnu Surya Wagh, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, said: "Have sex riding a bike ... No one will stop you ... This is Goa ... This broad daylight sex show took place right on the Mandovi bridge on Sunday afternoon.

"Not a single policeman on the way to stop them. A passer-by happened to click this picture. What do you have to say?"

But after the picture went viral, police swung into action to track down the owner of the bike, which turned out to be a rental firm that said it had rented it to a couple from the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

When questioned by police, they admitted to riding indecently on the bike in the southern Indian state of Goa, a beach destination popular with tourists.

The couple were fined 1,000 Rs (£10) by the Goa police.
