The official said that two days ago the couple applied for a visa at the US embassy. They were called for an interview by the embassy officials. During scrutiny of their documents the embassy found out that they had visited the UK. The couple then confessed to the violation. The embassy also found out about the second set of passports and reported the matter to local police. Cops have recovered the passports and they have been booked in a case of cheating. "They were produced before a court and were remanded to 14 days in judicial custody," said the police official.
