In yet another topper scam in Bihar, the state's arts topper Ganesh Kumar was today arrested on charges of forgery of documents.

His arrest comes after the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) cancelled the class 12th topper's result with immediate effect.

Police said Ganesh Kumar will be produced before the district court in Patna tomorrow.

A complaint was lodged against him after he failed to justify his academic abilities.

Bihar Education Minister Ashok Choudhary had extended his support to the arts topper and said he was a genuine student.

He had said that even Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was happy with the results where only meritorious students passed the exam.

Ganesh secured 65 out of 70 marks in the practical examinations of Music and 18 out of 30 in the theory. He secured 92 marks out of 100 in Hindi.

Ganesh's academic prowess came into question after he failed to answer basic questions related to the subjects in which he secured the highest mark.

When he was asked to play some instruments and sing a song, he seemed unable to play anything in tune.
