Under immense political pressure in a case involving his educational qualifications, Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday submitted his resignation to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hours after a Delhi court remanded him to four-day police custody.

An FIR was registered against Tomar on Monday night in Hauz Khas Police Station and he was slapped with charges under various sections of the IPC including those related to cheating and criminal conspiracy.

Tomar was interacting with a group of people in his office in Trinagar when about 30-40 policemen took him away on the pretext of getting some documents and then drove him to the Hauz Khas police station, according to his staff.
