Fresh trouble brewed for Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar on Wednesday after the Bar Council of Delhi asked the Delhi Police to inquire into the fake law degree case.
The police inquiry was ordered after Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University in Bihar, from where Tomar claims he has completed his degree, informed the Delhi High Court that the minister’s law degree is ‘fabricated’.
Receiving the information for the University, secretary of Bar Council of Delhi, Punit Mittal, said that it has decided to give Tomar some time to clarify his position.
“No one has been able to submit any final finding. The enquiry is going on. There are allegations, there are counter versions expected to be on the record. Both allegations and version (of the minister) will be considered and a final conclusion will be arrived at,” said Mittal.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for defending Tomar’s case.
” Bar Council has given a judgement and I think if Kejriwal has faith in Constitution he will expel him (Tomar) immediately. But he is inclined towards the Naxals, so he doesn’t care about the law. Lying is his habit,” said Swamy.
The hearing day has been extended till May 28. Tomar has been issued a notice and asked to present his original documents on the basis of which he took admission for his law degree. (ANI)
