Patna, June 7 (IBNS) An FIR has been registered against the three toppers of the Bihar Secondary Education Board (BSEB) after they failed in a retest on subjects they topped in.

The Bihar government on Monday dissolved a committee constituted by BSEB to probe into alleged irregularities in evaluation of marks in this year's class 12 examination. 

The Bihar government on Monday dissolved a committee constituted by BSEB to probe into alleged irregularities in evaluation of marks in this year's class 12 examination. The decision to dissolve the committee was taken after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar held a meeting with state Education Minister Ashok Choudhary, Principal Secretary (Education) DS Gangwar and BSEB chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh.

"The government has dissolved the committee," Choudhary said after the meeting. He added that it was decided to go for direct action into irregularities without any further delay by registering an FIR against education mafias.

"It was discussed that the committee constituted by the Board would have taken time and arrived on a conclusion that irregularities have been committed, which prima facie has already been established. There is no point delaying action and hence, the state government decided to go for direct action by registering an FIR and initiating action against the culprits," the minister said.

The Chief Minister ordered that the entire matter be probed by the police and stern action be initiated against those found guilty, the statement said.
