Fake degree case: Tomar likely to be taken to DU colleges today

June 17, 2015 10:47

After taking him to universities in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar over the alleged fake degree probe, the Delhi Police is slated to take Aam Aadmi Party leader Jitender Singh Tomar to colleges in Delhi University on Wednesday.

This comes a day after the former Delhi law minister withdrew his bail plea from a sessions court in the national capital after his police custody was extended by four days.

The police have 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.

The investigators are also expected to take Tomar to Bundelkhand University. Additional Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava said, "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."

Tomar, an MLA from Trinagar, was arrested in the morning of June 9 following an investigation into the complaint by Bar Council of Delhi that he had obtained a fake law degree from the Bihar college.
