NEW DELHI: Delhi Law minister Jitender Singh Tomar was arrested in connection with fake degree row, local media reported on Tuesday.
According to report, the minister has been arrested by Delhi Police for his interrogation in this case.
He had approached the Delhi High Court to stay the proceedings of the Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) initiated against him in an alleged “fake law degree” case.
Tomar claimed to have obtained his Law degree from Bihar’s Tilak Manjhi Bhagalpur University.
University had earlier told the court that the provisional certificate is not “genuine” and the document “does not exist in the university’s record”.
The serial number of the provisional certificate in the record showed the name of some other person and not that of Tomar, said the university.
The BCD had also initiated an inquiry into the matter and issued notice to Tomar seeking his response.
