Patna:
“Maine to Papa se kaha tha pass karwa
dijiye, unhone ne to top hi karwa diya.” This is what the Bihar board Class XII
topper, whose result has since been cancelled after a retest, reportedly told
her interrogators. Loosely translated, her assertion was, “I had only told Papa
to get me passed but they went ahead and made me topper.”
The Vaishali girl, a widely publicised
TV interview of whom showed her struggling to answer basic questions and
mispronouncing political science as “prodigal science”, has been arrested.
Facing an expert committee of the Bihar State Education Board that asked her to
write a few lines on Tulsidas the poet, she had written one line: “Tulsidas,
pranam”.
“The arts topper was very forthright in
accepting that she did not deserve to be a topper,” Manu Maharaj, Patna special
SP heading the special investigation team (SIT) probing the scam. “She had expected second division at best. She
now blamed her guardians and Vishun Roy College principal Bachcha Rai for
making her topper.”
