Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today rubbished the Aam Aadmi Partys charges that the arrest of Delhi Law Minister was a conspiracy hatched by his ministry. He affirmed that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) did not order the arrest.

The Ministry of Home Affairs does not indulge in such activities. The law takes it own course. There is no interference by the MHA in any such matter.

— Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister.

Signh was responding to reporters’ queries on the arrest of Delhi Law Minister Jitendra Singh Tomar on charges of cheating and fraud in obtaining a law degree.

When it was pointed out that a minister in the NDA government at the Centre was facing similar charges, Singh said an arrest is made on specific allegations.
