Former AAP MLA Jitender Singh Tomar to be taken to Bihar today

June 12, 2015 08:58

In the dock over his alleged fake degrees, former AAP Minister Jitender Singh Tomar will be taken to Bihar from Faizabad on Friday for verification of his law degree.

Tomar would be taken by a team comprising of ACP level officers and seven other personnel of Delhi Police where he would be taken to Bishwanath Singh Institute of Legal Study College at Munger and Bhagalpur-based Tilka Majhi University, to which the college is affiliated.

Yesterday, the police had taken him to KS Saket PG College and RML Avadh University in Faizaba, from where he claimed to have earned his BSc degree.

He was given a tour of the campuses and was also brought face to face with teachers and officials of the institutions, whose statements were also recorded, police said.

These included teachers who taught the 1987-88 batch and also some students who passed out that year, the same year he claimed to have passed BSc.

Police said he failed to locate his classroom, physics laboratory and the washroom and that investigation at Faizabad "more or less" corroborated the earlier police findings that his degrees were fabricated.
