Delhi Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, who was sent to four days custody in the fake degree case, submitted his resignation on Tuesday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said.
"Jitender Singh Tomar put in his papers a while back. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has accepted the resignation," Sisodia said.
"We shall forward Tomar's resignation letter to Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung tomorrow (Wednesday) morning," he added.
In his resignation letter, Tomar said he did not want to affect the image of the Aam Aadmi Party or its Delhi government.
