Ruby has told her interrogators that she never wanted to top the exams. Instead, she wanted to just pass, and had asked her dad to arrange for enough marks to make that happen, ? “Maine to Papa se kaha tha pass karwa dijiye, unhone ne to top hi karwa diya.” (I had only asked Papa to get me passed but he went ahead and made me topper), The Indian Express reported.

She had earlier said that she is just a girl for 'dehaat' and like Jon Snow she knows nothing!

Not only could not she not clear her re-examination's basic questions, but Ruby couldn't even pronounce "Political Science", the video of which triggered this fiasco into what is unravelling as a complicated scam involving the students and college administration.

Manu Maharaj, the Patna special SP who is heading the Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the scam explained “The arts topper was very forthright in accepting that she did not deserve to be a topper.”

“She had expected second division at best. She now blames her guardians and Vishnu Roy College principal, Bachcha Rai, for making her topper.” Ruby's comments during a TV interview after she was declared the topper took the lid off the toppers scam in Bihar.

Meanwhile, other toppers successfully cleared their re-examination, in a process involving a 14-member panel of experts who examined all toppers individually.

The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has cancelled of its affiliation to Ruby's school, the Vishun Roy (VR) College at Bhagwanpur in Vaishali district.

Bihar is no stranger to mass exam-cheating. A couple of years ago a video of parents and friends climbing school walls to hand cheat-chits to students who were appearing in the exams had exposed the amount of fraud happening in exams in the state.
