Indian Student Sent To Jail After She Ranked First In A State Exam But Failed After She Was Asked To Re-Write It

An Indian student, Ruby Rai, 17, ranked first in
the Bihar state exams but said in a video
interview that her main subject political
science was about cooking. After the video
went viral, Ms Rai was made to re-sit her
exams. She was later arrested after she failed
and her original results cancelled.
She was produced in court on Sunday where a
magistrate sent her to jail until 8th of July.
The decision to send her to prison has
however been criticised given that she is a
minor and should, therefore, be sent to a
detention home for juvenile and not jailed.
