Malayalam actress 'clears' Bihar STET exam, score card goes viral

The actress's photo on the result sheet of STET candidate Rishikesh Kumar has taken the internet by storm.

Patna: The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has found itself embroiled in controversy after a candidate's result sheet attached with Malayalam actress Anupama Parameswaran's photograph went viral on social media. The actress's photo on the result sheet of Bihar STET candidate Rishikesh Kumar has taken the internet by storm.

Leader of Opposition, Tejaswi Yadav took to Twitter to condemn the glitch in the result publication. Yadav retweeted Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Ritu Jaiswal's tweet. "After making Sunny Leone top in Bihar's Junior Engineer examination, now Malayalam actress Anupama Parameswaran is made to pass STET. Nitish is ruining the lives of crores of youth by rigging every examination," wrote Yadav in Hindi.

RJD leader Ritu Jaiswal shared the video of the result and wrote "Scam, that too with the future of youth! The government with such low and lousy thought should die. People across the country used to come to ancient Nalanda University for studies. Now Malayalam actress's name is enlisted for jobs in Bihar."

The matter was verified by ETV Bharat. Upon logging in to Rishikesh Kumar's account, the actress's photo appears instead of Kumar's. Bihar Board's response is awaited in this regard.
