Bihar fake topper Ruby Rai wrote poetry, film songs in her answer sheet

Patna: A day after forensic reports revealed that the answer sheets of Bihar fake topper Ruby Rai were in fact written by experts, reports claimed on Monday that she wrote Tulsidas’ name over a hundred times in her answer sheet.

According to a report in NDTV, she also wrote poetry and film songs in her answer sheet, which was later on exchanged with the answer sheet written by experts.

Forensic reports revealed on Sunday that Ruby’s handwriting did not match the ones in her answer sheet, and that they did not carry the education board watermark, indicating that they were put in place of her original answer sheet much later.

An examination of answer sheets also brought to light the fact that marks jotted down on her copies were tampered with many times, Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj said.

Ruby Rai of Bishundeo Rai College in Hajipur hit the headlines in June when she pronounced political science, one of her subjects, as "prodikal science" which according to her teaches cooking.

Her comment had taken the lid off a big racket operating in Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB).

The state government instituted an SIT headed by Manu Maharaj to conduct a probe into the scam and answer sheets of some candidates were sent for forensic examination. The results of Rai and that of Saurabh Kumar, Science topper in the state's Plus 2 examination this year, were cancelled after they failed to replicate their performance in a re-test.

The then BSEB Chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh, his former JD(U) MLA wife Usha Sinha and other board officials involved in the racket were arrested and jailed. Secretary of the Bishundeo Rai college Bachacha Rai, from where the Arts and Science toppers hailed, is also in jail.
