Bihar Toppers Scam: Juvenile Court Grants Bail to Accused Ruby Rai
Ruby Rai had scored 444 out of 500 marks but failed to answer some basic questions about her core subjects.
On Monday, the juvenile court granted bail to Ruby Rai, who was accused of cheating in class 12 exams in Bihar.
Ruby Rai had scored 444 out of 500 marks in her intermediate exams in the Arts stream but failed to answer some basic questions about her core subjects.
Fresh exams were ordered for all the toppers, and Rai did not sit for them, claiming illness.
After skipping the two summons to appear before a team of subject experts for reassessment of her exam performance, Ruby, who enrolled from the controversial Vishun Roy college in Vaishali, appeared for a written re-test as well as interview.
Rai was asked to write an essay on the poet cum saint Tulsidas for the re-test, but managed to write only ‘Tulsidas ji pranam” – shocking the expert panel that was judging her paper.
The Patna civil court had issued a non-bailable warrant of arrest against four toppers including Rubi Rai after the re-test.
