The police have registered a case after a temple in Maharashtra's Thane city was allegedly desecrated by members of a minority community, an official told PTI on Sunday.

On Saturday, the police on Saturday registered a first information report based on a complaint lodged by a woman under Section 295 (destroying, damaging, or defiling a place of worship or sacred object with intent to insult the religion of any class of persons) and other relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code, the official said.
