New Delhi: Former Law Minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party leader Jitendra Singh Tomar had been taken to Faizabad of Uttar Pradesh of interrogation late on Tuesday in fake degree raw.
AAP leader Tomar had been arrested by Delhi police on Tuesday morning for fake degree case. Meanwhile Tomar had claimed that the allegations against him were false.
Tomar said, “My degree is absolutely genuine. It is a conspiracy by the BJP and Central government. Yes, they are not letting AAP government work.”
The 49-year-old MLA from Trinagar was remanded in four-day police custody by a Delhi court on Tuesday.
Soon after his arrest, Tomar had resigned as Law Minister and claimed that he had done his B.Sc. from RML Avadh University, Faizabad.
Investigators however said that FIR was registered and Tomar was arrested only after finding concrete evidence of his wrongdoing following a complaint by Bar Council of Delhi Secretary Punit Mittal on May 11.
Police also said that once police received the complaint, a preliminary enquiry, as per the directives of the Supreme Court, was launched and two teams were sent to verify the documents attached with the complaint to RML Avadh University, Faizabad and Tilak Manjhi Bhagalpur University in Bihar.
Delhi Police Spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said, “In the record of K.S. Saket PG College, Ayodhya from where the alleged B.Sc. degree and mark sheets were issued in the name of Jitender Singh Tomar, no such student was found in the college admission register while roll numbers mentioned in the documents were not found in the university record.”
Bhagat also said, “We then checked the alleged provisional certificate of LLB issued by Tilak Manjhi Bhagalpur University. A report from the University has termed the degree fake. The roll number mentioned in the provisional certificate of LLB was found to be allotted to another student, Sanjay Kumar Chaudhary, from a different stream issued in 1999.”
