Panchkula, July 31

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today announced a reward of Rs1 lakh for Hiteshwar Sharma from Panchkula, whom he referred to as the CBSE Class XII all-India topper even though the board has not released the merit list.

The official Twitter handle of the CMO, Haryana, tweeted the announcement.

The local lad has scored 99.8 marks in the arts stream.

Haryana Speaker and local MLA Gian Chand Gupta also met Hiteshwar today at his house in Sector 10 and congratulated him for the achievement.

Hiteshwar, who had scored AIR 3 in the CBSE Class X exams in 2019, had recently interacted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the cancellation of the CBSE Class XII exams in view of the pandemic.

However, according to some reports, a labourer’s daughter from Bulandshahr, Ansuiya Kushwaha, has scored a perfect 100 in the CBSE Class XII results.
