The minister quit last night after his arrest earlier in the day over a fake degree.

Tomar has been under scrutiny for submitting an allegedly fake law degree from the Bishwanath Singh Institute of Legal Studies in Bihar's Munger. Police are also expected to take him to the college to validate the LLB degree, the report says.
