A day after a university in Bihar informed the Delhi High Court that Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar’s degree was not genuine, the latter denied allegations of fraud levelled against him and approached Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to explain himself on Tuesday, a senior Government official said.
According to the official, Mr. Tomar apprised Mr. Kejriwal about the non-genuineness of a Right to Information (RTI) reply on the basis of which a petition against him was filed in the HC and undertook to produce documentation which would vindicate him at the earliest.
“He also told the Chief Minister that he was in the process of acquiring more information pertaining to records of students’ rolls of the batch of which he was a part; an erroneous roll number has been attributed to him and the records, in their entirety, can prove that this is a conspiracy to malign him,” the official said.
