[Iran Press TV] Police in India have tossed in the calabooseDrop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
a New Delhi state minister following a complaint from the Bar Council of Delhi that the minister's degree in law is fake.
No one ever saw him attend class? No record of grades or attendance? Conflicting data on registration, passport, visa status, and tuition grants? Could have simply revoked his law license. Sounds a bit harsh, even racist.
State Minister of Law and Justice Jitendra Singh Tomar appeared in court on Tuesday to be formally charged for forgery. The Delhi High Court later sent Tomar on a four-day police remand.
Delhi police front man Rajan Bhagat said, "Based on the investigations and prima facie evidence, a case was filed against Tomar and he was arrested for cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy."
Prior to Tomar's arrest, on May 27, 2015, the university where the minister studied law, the Institute of Legal Studies in Munger, filed an affidavit before the Delhi High Court, claiming that Tomar was a "bona fide student" and submitted attested copies of his admission register and marksheets bearing Tomar's name.
Minister Tomar, himself, has denied the charges against him, and instead, accuses the country's ruling party of meddling in the affairs of the local Delhi government.
