Patna: A coaching institute operated by educator Faisal Khan, widely known as 'Khan Sir', was allegedly vandalised and subjected to stone-pelting in Bihar's Patna on Tuesday night, according to a report by news agency PTI. Officials stated that Khan also alleged that firing occurred during the incident, but this could not be corroborated by the police.
Incident Details
The attack took place at the Khan Global Coaching Institute located in the Kadamkuan police station area. A statement from the City SP office said, 'We received information around 10.10 pm on Tuesday about stone-pelting and damage to property at Khan Global Coaching Institute under the jurisdiction of Kadamkuan Police Station. A police team was immediately dispatched to the spot, and an investigation has been initiated.'
Preliminary findings and CCTV footage suggest that approximately 15 to 20 individuals, allegedly linked to another coaching institute in Patna, were involved in the assault, police reported.
Khan Sir's Account
Speaking to reporters after the incident, Khan said, 'Some anti-social elements from a nearby coaching institute caused widespread damage, severely beat our guard, and even fired gunshots. Their primary grievance is how can someone teach students at such a low cost and still deliver thousands of results each year.' He was alluding to the recently announced Bihar Police Recruitment exam results.
Police acknowledged evidence of physical assault but noted that the claim of firing could not be confirmed from the available CCTV footage thus far. Raids are ongoing to apprehend those responsible, and further legal measures will be pursued in accordance with the law, officials confirmed.
