Indian police have arrested a 17-year-old woman topper in the eastern state of Bihar on charges of cheating in examination after she failed a retest.
A senior police official said Tuesday that Ruby Rai, who came first in Bihar state examinations, was produced in a court and remanded to judicial custody for two weeks.
Her arrest came after she was made to retake her examinations in the wake of a video interview going viral, in which she said her main subject political science was about cooking.
"She failed in the retest after her original results were cancelled. Rai was arrested soon after," the official said.
According to the police, arrest warrants have also been issued for several other students who did well in the state examinations, but are suspected to have cheated.
In 2015, parents of students in the state were photographed scaling school walls to pass on answers to their wards during an examination.
