An incident at the coaching institute of Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, in Patna has sparked protests among students. On Wednesday morning, a large number of students gathered outside the coaching centre, refusing to attend classes. Khan Sir informed the students that no classes would be held for the day, following which they raised slogans in his support.
The incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday night when a group attacked the Global Studies coaching institute. A security guard was injured during the attack, sustaining head injuries, and was admitted to PMCH for treatment. Initially, Khan Sir claimed that 8 to 10 rounds of firing had taken place, but he later retracted this statement, citing confusion due to the tense atmosphere. The FIR filed by Khan Sir also did not mention any firing, and Patna Police have denied such claims.
Town DSP Rajesh Ranjan confirmed that no evidence of firing was found in CCTV footage. He stated that the incident involved vandalism and physical altercations, with 10 to 12 individuals reportedly involved. Patna SSP Kartikey Sharma added that some students were involved in tearing posters and causing damage. The police are reviewing CCTV footage to identify the culprits and assured action against those responsible.
The coaching institute had recently planned a celebration for its students' success in the Bihar Police recruitment results. Staff members allege that the attack may have been motivated by rivalry from other coaching centres. Investigations are ongoing.
