Diwali came early for Bihar's Sushil Kumar as he has become the first person to win the full prize money of Rs.5 crore in the fifth season of popular quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC).

The 27-year-old Kumar correctly answered the jackpot question, worth Rs.5 crore, asked by megastar Amitabh Bachchan during the episode shot on Tuesday, to presumably win the highest prize money awarded in Indian game shows, sources said. Mr. Kumar, who recently got married, is a computer operator and a part-time tutor.
