Jitender Singh Tomar is an Indian politician and former cabinet minister of Home, law and justice in the Government of NCT of Delhi headed by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal from which he was resigned after a Fake Degree case against him. He is a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and represents Tri Nagar in the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Delhi.
In 2020, day before he was about to file his nomination from TriNagar for 2020 Delhi Assembly Elections, High Court gave a ruling against him where he was found guilty of Fake Degree in his 2015 nomination. As a result his election was canceled and he instead made his wife contest on behalf of him.
