Reportedly, they did it to get an Australian spouse visa.


The Inspector investigating the case in Bathinda told SBS, “According to our investigation, we have come to know so far that the brother was already a permanent resident of Australia and documents were forged to give his sister the identity of their cousin and they first got a marriage certificate from a gurdwara and it was registered in the sub-registrar’s office.”

Not just the brother-sister duo but also their parents, maternal grandmother and another brother have been named in the complaint and have been at large.
