AAP upset with Tomar, may expel him over fake degree charges

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party members are upset with AAP leader and former Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar over the fake degree row in which he is caught and are mulling expelling him from the party.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal is disappointed with Tomar as he had convinced him about the authenticity of his degree by showing a fake RTI report, as per media reports.

Jitender Singh Tomar was taken into custody by the Delhi Police on Tuesday after an FIR was filed against him for allegedly possessing fake degrees.

After arresting Tomar from his house, the Delhi Police took him to Faizabad district in Uttar Pradesh.

On Wednesday, Tomar was taken to K S Saket PG College in the Faizabad district, where he claims to have studied, and was asked to show the classrooms and labs.

But, the former Delhi Law Minister failed to recognize the classrooms and labs. Even the lectures at the college and Tomar's alleged batchmates failed to recognize him.

Jitender Singh Tomar has been charged with IPC section 467 for forgery, section 468 for forgery with purpose of cheating and section 120 (B)  for criminal conspiracy.
