A 17-year-old Indian schoolgirl named Ruby Rai grabbed national
headlines last month after she topped the Class 12 examination, has been
arrested over the weekend and sent to 14-days judicial custody after
she wrote just one sentence in her re-test ordered by state authorities.
Ruby Rai, ranked first in the Bihar state exams said in a video
interview to celebrate her fear that her main subject, political
science, was about cooking. She also said 'Political Science' is
'Prodigal Science.' After the video went viral, she was made to re-sit
her exams, and was arrested after she failed and had her original
results cancelled.
The disgraced student of VR College in Vaishali district told the
police on Sunday that she never expected to top the Class 12 examination
and just wanted to simply pass the test.
Ruby Rai, after she was declared the topper in Political Science, told reporters that the subject included cooking.
She was among several toppers whose results were scrapped and
re-test ordered. But she flunked the re-test, managing only a single
line – “Tulsidas ji, pranam” – when asked to write an essay on the poet in her re-test. She claimed she had forgotten what she studied.
“Hum dehaat ki ladki hain, humko nahi pata hum kaise top kar
gaye (I am a village girl. I don’t know how I topped the examination),” Rai, was quoted by police as saying during the interrogation.
The teen girl was arrested on the premises of the Bihar School
Examination Board Education after she failed the re-test. She was kept
at the women’s police station before being produced in court.
Sources said Rai told the police that her college principal,
Bachcha Roy, the alleged scam kingpin, was distantly related to her.
However, she said she never had any direct contact with him. She did not
rule out the possibility that her father interacted with Roy.
