New Delhi: Former Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar was taken to Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh to further probe whether he faked his degree. He was taken by train to Faizabad, about 700 km away from Delhi.

Meanwhile, AAP MLA Kapil Mishra will be the new Delhi Law Minister. The Tilka Manjhi University in Bhagalpur town is in the eye of a storm, following the arrest of Tomar; accused of forgery and faking his degree from Bihar to register himself as a lawyer.

At the University's administrative office, Vice Chancellor R S Dubey said, "so far we have not initiated any enquiry against any University staff. We answered whatever the court asked us, as an affidavit has been submitted to them. If the cops come, we will cooperate with them."

Sources say the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader could not have managed to secure a fake degree without active help from University officials Tomar registered himself with the Bar Council of Delhi on the basis of a provisional pass certificate from Bhagalpur University. But in its internal enquiry, the university found that certificate number 3687 that Tomar claims was his, was issued to one Sanjay Chaudhary for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Science. The Delhi Police is probing the possibility of an organised racket behind the alleged fake degrees of Tomar.
