Meanwhile, Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has made a decision to cancel Ruby’s result after she failed to give satisfactory replies in the re-test conducted by subject experts. The panel had cancelled her result after the review.
Ms Rai was arrested as she emerged from the re-test.
The official, Vikash Chandra, also revealed that Rs 10 lakh was charged from a failed student to give them pass certificates, he said.
Those summoned for re-exam included Arts topper Ruby Rai and Science stream topper Saurabh Kumar, he said. She even said that the subject was about cooking. “Her confidence struck us the most”.
According to police officials, the Patna civil court has issued a non-bailable warrant of arrest against four toppers including Rubi Rai.
The former BSEB chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad and his wife – a former Janata Dal-United (JD-U) MLA – are among 20 people who have been arrested by a special investigation team.
But the TV channel’s questions to Rai and Shreshtha put the spotlight back on the state’s exam system, notorious for mass cheating backed by a section in the education department.
