Amidst the ongoing brouhaha over Jitendra Singh Tomar's arrest, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia reached the Finance Ministry to meet Union

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

The Delhi Law Minister was arrested by the Delhi Police this morning and taken to the Hauz Khas police station in connection with the fake certificate row.

He is currently being taken to the Saket District Court.

Tomar has been facing charges that the education certificates submitted by him while filing nomination for Delhi Assembly polls earlier this year were fake.

Bihar's Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, from where Tomar claimed to have obtained his law degree, had earlier stated that the record of his provisional certificate did not exist in the university's record.

The BJP and Congress have been demanding Tomar's resignation since April when allegations were first made that he had faked his Bihar law degree.
