Bihar state board Class XII Arts topper Ruby Rai was arrested by police on Saturday. Ruby was arrested by Special Investigation Team (SIT) as she emerged from a re-test of Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj said.

A Patna court today issued a non-bailable warrant against four toppers of the intermediate examination, including Ruby, in the exam racket.

Rai famously described political science as “prodigal science” and calling it the science of “cooking” before TV cameras. The board cancelled her test results after she failed in the re-test. Rai initially refused to take the re-test citing depression post the media coverage of the results.

After skipping two summons to appear before a team of subject experts for reassessment of her exam performance, Ruby, enrolled from the controversial Vishun Roy college in Vaishali, arrived at BSEB office today to face a written re-test as well as interview.

The details of the re-test are yet to be known.
