Fake degree: Court allows Tomar to withdraw his bail plea

June 16, 2015 11:28

A sessions judge in Delhi has allowed ex-Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar to withdraw his bail plea with liberty to file it afresh before court concerned after his four-day remand period is over.

Metropolitan Magistrate Preeti Parewa had on Monday extended by four more days the police custody of Tomar after investigators said he needed to be taken to Bundelkhand University to ascertain facts about his allegedly "fabricated" migration certificate.

The police claimed that every time they visit a new place, "new documents" surface so they need to tally specimen as well as admitted signatures of Tomar and the university officials on the educational certificates.

Additional Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava said that last two days of the police custody were second Saturday and Sunday and it not did serve any purpose during their probe as the colleges were closed.

"We have to take him (Tomar) to Bundelkhand University, the place which we have not visited yet, as the fabricated migration certificate of BSc was issued from that university and it was submitted to Tilka Manjhi University, Bhagalpur, from where Tomar had alleged pursued his LLB degree," he said.

"The migration certificate of BSc issued by Bundelkhand University was of the year 2001 while Tomar had allegedly done his LLB first year in 1995. We need to ascertain this fact and requires his presence over there during the investigation," Shrivastava said, adding, "Tomar needs to be confronted with the teachers and his batch mates."
