Former Delhi law minister Jitender Singh Tomar was on Saturday sent to police custody for two days.

The MLA from Delhi's Trinagar constituency was produced in the court as his four-day police custody ended today.

The Delhi Police, which took Tomar to Faizabad and Ayodhya as part of its investigation, have found that his B. Sc degree is fake.

Delhi Police sources said that Tomar had no knowledge about anything related to his educational qualification when questioned at the Faizabaad Awadh University and Ayodhaya Saket College.

No such degree has been issued by the University or college in his name, said sources.

Meanwhile, the verification of Tomar's L.L.B. degree is still underway.

49-year-old Tomar quit as Delhi Law Minister after being arrested on charges of furnishing false degrees.
