A Delhi court today extended by two days the police custody of former Delhi law minister Jitender Singh Tomar, who has been arrested in an alleged fake degree case.
Tomar also moved a fresh bail plea on which the court sought police reply and listed the matter for further hearing on Monday.
The court order came after Delhi Police submitted that Tomar's custody was required because one person Madan Pratap Chauhan, who allegedly provided the BSc. Degree to Tomar, is already being interrogated and they both needed to be confronted with each other.
Metropolitan Magistrate Navjeet Budhiraja allowed Delhi Police to quiz 49-year-old Tomar, arrested on June 9, till June 21 when he will be produced in court.
The accused was produced in court after expiry of his four-day police remand.
