Bihar topper scam: Vishun Roy College shut

June 30, 2016 09:09

Bihar topper scam: BSEB cancels registration of the Vishun Roy college in Vaishali after the institution allegedly took money to make fake toppers.

The college in Vaishalis Kairatpur is owned by Amit Singh aka Baccha Roy who is currently behind bars.

His college produced four of the 18 toppers, including his daughter Shalini, among the first ten on the merit list in the class 12 science and arts streams this year.

Notorious for incidents of mass cheating, Bihar was engulfed in a merit muddle when the four toppers failed to answer rudimentary questions during a media interaction soon after the results were announced in May, triggering outrage that they cheated their way to the top.
