New Delhi: The controversy over fake degree continues to haunt the Aam Aadmi Party government as its MLA from the Delhi Cantonment area Commando Surender Singh has been issued a notice by the Delhi High Court.
The notice was issued after a Bharatiya Janata Party leader moved court based on an RTI inquiry. "This just adds to the list of dubious members in AAP," said BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli.
Defending himself, Surender Singh claimed that he graduated from Sikkim Manipal University in 2012 but the university doesn't have any record of his graduation.
Singh said, "I am innocent. The truth will come out in court. I have documents to prove that I am innocent."
The court has given Singh four weeks time to respond.
Earlier, Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar was in the middle of fake degree controversy. The The Bar Council sought probe into his fake law degree after the two universities whose certificates Tomar had furnished, claimed the degrees are fake.
Bihar-based Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University had informed the Delhi High Court that Tomar's law degree is fabricated. The institute had claimed that Tomar's law degree does not exist in the their records.
The university said that the serial number on the provisional certificate has the name of some other person in a different stream of study.
