Bihar Toppers Scam

A plot of land seized by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from the main accused in the Bihar topper scam has been taken over by the land mafia, officials have said.

Jailed prime accused in Bihar's topper scam, Bachcha Rai, has threatened a jail official and a doctor leading to a case being registered against him, police said today.

Assets worth Rs 10 crore of Bachha Rai, the main accused in 2016 Bihar topper scam have been attached.

The Enforcement Directorate today said that it has attached assets worth Rs 4.53 crore, including 29 plots and deposits in ten bank accounts, of the main accused in the Bihar topper scam that had rocked the state in 2016.

Vowing to scale up efforts to clean up Bihar's school examination system, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday held a sharp drop in pass percentage of Class 12 students this year as evidence that the state was on the right track but conceded he had "miles to go to plug all loopholes". Not that the government hadn't tried in the past but the "wrong...

Its eyes on the crores that Bihar officials made in last year's topper scam, the Enforcement Directorate on Friday registered a case against eight government officials including principals who face charges of selling school examination marks.

It's being called the Ruby Rai effect. 68 colleges and 19 schools in Bihar have been derecognised after an investigation found that most of these functioned only on paper with not much to show for infrastructure.

Bihar school examination topper Ruby Rai wrote names of movies in one answer sheet, the name of poet Tulsidas more than a hundred times in another and poetry in some others, which were then replaced by papers written by 'experts', the police have said.

A report prepared by the forensic science laboratory has confirmed that "experts" had written examination for Bihar Intermediate Arts "topper" Ruby Rai who had pronounced political science as "prodikal science" saying the subject deals with cooking.

In recent months, Nitish Kumar has not been on the best of terms with the media. Which is why, his "thank you" to journalists for exposing a massive exam scam that has shamed his Bihar was seen as unusual.

As Ruby Rai, 17, was allowed to go home three weeks after being arrested for allegedly paying bribes to not just clear but top the class 12 exams in Bihar, the police located a classmate of hers who had been missing along with three other students wanted for the big education swindle.

A schoolboy in Bihar who ranked third in science in Class 12 exams, Rahul Kumar, was arrested this morning as investigations continue into what has come to known as the "topper scam".

After nearly five weeks, Ruby Rai, a Bihar school girl arrested for cheating in her school exams, will finally be allowed to return home. She was controversially arrested by the Bihar police, moved to a juvenile home, and then denied bail twice.

A Bihar court on Monday granted bail to Ruby Rai, an accused in the toppers' scam, a government lawyer said.

It has been three weeks since school girl Ruby Rai was last at home. The 17-year-old was arrested after she was declared the topper in Political Science and said in television interviews that the subject involved cooking.
