Bihar board 'topper' Ganesh Kumar arrested, his result cancelled - Times of India

An unprecedented 65 per cent students failed the Bihar board exams this year. 24-year-old Ganesh appeared for the board exams at Ramnandan Singh Jagdip Narayan High school in Samastipur's Chhakhabib village and topped the humanities stream with 82.6 per cent. He secured 65 out of 70 marks in the practical examination of Music and 18 out of 30 in the theory, besides scoring 92 marks out of 100 in Hindi.

However, he soon found himself in the midst of a controversy after he could not answer basic questions from the subjects he had taken. When asked how he'd performed so well in the Music practicals, Ganesh unrhythmically sang a few lines of a Bollywood number.

At least Bihar board doesn't seem to give free marks like CBSE does.
topped the humanities stream with 82.6 per cent.

I don't know. It seems like media is conducting a trial/test here. Poor kid must have got nervous while answering their questions, and now this.

I don't know why he even bothered to answer questions from media.
If I were him, I would simply have denied to give any answer to media persons.
