On Friday, five accused in the case had been arrested and were remanded to 14 days judicial custody in Patna.
“We will interrogate him intensively”, he said.
Bachha Rai, a known supporter of RJD, had been allegedly eluding from police in the case.
Tejaswi Yadav responded immediately: “Bihar BJP leaders know how honest you are Giriraj ji, thats why everyone is deadly silent including Sushil Modi Ji…”
The probe has indicated that Bachha Rai was a key player in the case with the help of Bihar School Examination Board, police said.
The board had on 3 June asked Sourabh and his college mate Rahul Kumar, who were among the 13 toppers from the Arts and Science streams in the Class XII examinations, to reappear in a re-test following a controversy over their merit.
Rai had secured 444 marks out of 500 in the Arts stream. Earlier, in a confession to the police, Bachcha Rai had reportedly admitted that he was planning to open a medical college with a Union Minister. The BSEB has withheld her result and given her a last chance to appear for retest on June 25. Meanwhile, former BSEB Chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh remained elusive, despite intensive raids to arrest him.
Meanwhile, the Arts Intermediate topper Ruby Rai did not turn up before an experts team for re-test today following which the Board chose to withhold her result.
An FIR was registered against four students and the director of the college in connection with Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) results issue.
He said no application came from the candidate (Ruby Rai) for her not coming for authentication test in the Board office today.

“Withholding result means the candidate can not take admission anywhere on the basis of this result till further order”, Kishor, who is also Patna Commissioner, said. College management received Rs 95 lakh as its students topped the examinations in class 10 and class 12 and all the students got first class marks.
