Bihar topper scam : Science topper arrested
Rahul Kumar was arrested by a Special Investigation Team from Vaishali, 62 km from state capital Patna. He is the second student to have been arrested.
More than a dozen students of the Vishnu Rai College were asked to appear for a re-test after television reports exposed the massive organised scam in which the result of a number of toppers in the examination were faked.
Rahul failed the test, after which his result was cancelled. Before him a girl, Ruby Pal, who had not appeared for the re-test, was arrested.
In all, 20 people have so far been arrested in connection with the scam which, many believe, has its roots deep in society.
