Tomar’s application form found missing from varsity

A police team probing the fake degree case of jailed former Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar on Wednesday discovered that the application form bearing the registration number allotted to him at Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University (TMBU) was missing.

The 15-member police team led by Delhi Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Pramod Singh Kushwaha, arrived in Bhagalpur on Tuesday to continue probe against the jailed AAP leader, accused of faking his graduation and law degrees.

It realised that the vital form was missing while searching through the records in five sections connected with university’s examination department. A Bihar police official said six persons including former examination controllers of TMBU, Rajendra <g data-gr-id="16">Prasad</g> and <g data-gr-id="15">R R</g> Poddar were questioned by the police team in this connection.

They are also planning to question a former vice-chancellor during whose tenure Tomar purportedly obtained the degree.
