Who is Vedanta whom Rahul Gandhi met?

Vedant is a resident of Delhi. He had told that CBSE had sent him the wrong answer sheet of Physics, whose handwriting was not his own. Later the board accepted the mistake and emailed the correct sheet and the result was updated. 17 year old student Sarthak Siddhant is also in the headlines in this case. Big questions were raised by writing a blog on OSM tender process.
