An Indian student has been sent to jail for cheating after she failed a retest.
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, and was arrested after she failed and had her original results cancelled.
She was produced in court on Sunday where a magistrate sent her to jail until 8 July.

The Hindu newspaper quoted Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj as saying that Ms Rai would have to "prove" that she was a minor. He did not specify how. Full story...
