AAP leader Jitender Singh Tomar on Wednesday was taken to Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh by Delhi Police for questioning but he maintained that the allegations were false and accused the Centre of a “conspiracy”. Tomar, who quit as Delhi Law Minister after his arrest on Tuesday, claims to have done his BSc from RML Avadh University, Faizabad.
Police are taking him there for an on the spot verification and questioning, sources said. - The Delhi Police told the court that the educational certificates which Tomar claims to be true were fabricated and during their initial probe, the authorities who signed those certificates have denied their genuineness.
"Everything (documents) is something which either is denied by the institution or we don't know as to how these documents came into light. For this we need Tomar's interrogation," the police said, adding, that "according to him (Tomar), all these documents (educational certificates) are allegedly true but all those who allegedly signed these documents say they have not signed it."
The investigating officer (IO) told the court that on the basis of a complaint given by Bar Council of Delhi (BCD), a preliminary enquiry was conducted and after taking reports from concerned universities, an FIR was lodged in the case.
During the hearing, the court asked the Delhi Police, "You (police) have served the notice on Tuesday. What was the need to arrest him on Tuesday itself? He has the power to fabricate documents within minutes", the police said, when the defence counsel asked the court to grant Tomar interim bail.
Terming the arrest "totally unconstitutional", Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said it was an attempt by the Modi government to "teach AAP a lesson" and asserted that no one involved in corruption will be spared.
Manish Sisodia said, "Attempts are being made to create an Emergency-like situation in Delhi through dictatorship as we have come down hard on those involved in corruption,".
Accusing police of treating Tomar as a "mafia", Sisodia said they forcibly put him into a car without giving any specific reason and seized his vehicle before bringing him to the police station."Tomar was arrested as if he was a mafia. Was he running away? Did he set off a bomb? What was the emergency, especially when a scam is being reopened? There's a deep underlying reason behind his arrest.
Manish Sisodia said, "This is an attempt to teach AAP a lesson. We would not spare anyone who will come in the way of our fight against corruption. His college affidavit clearly states that he has passed his law degree,".
India Honest argues that when Manish Sisodia finds that attempts are being made to create an Emergency-like situation in Delhi through dictatorship, than according to him what was the murder of Gajendra Singh in AAP's Khap type road meeting ? If it was creation of civil war unrest in Delhi ?
