Mangalore : The Kavoor police have booked Zubaid Hussain, husband of Ayesha Banu, for concealing information about possessing a passport while applying for a new one.

Hussain and Banu have been arrested by the Bihar Police for alleged illegal fund transfer and the duo have been taken to Patna for further investigation.

The Kavoor police said they came to know during the questioning of Zubaid that he visited Dubai recently using a passport that had been issued a few years ago. His passport was seized in 2004 by an order of a court following a case of dowry harassment filed by his second wife.
