This is a developing security incident with potential implications for the competitive exam coaching sector in Bihar.
Incident Details and Immediate Aftermath
Patna police have confirmed that a security guard was injured by gunfire outside Khan Sir's institute. Police teams, including the Patna SSP and SP, arrived at the scene after the incident. SP Kartikeya K Sharma told ANI that officers are recording statements from the guard and local witnesses. “This is a case involving physical assault. It has been reported that the guard sustained injuries; therefore, further action is being taken by recording his statement as well as the statements of the local people. The injured individual is currently undergoing treatment,” Sharma said.
No arrests have been made. CCTV footage has been handed to authorities for analysis.
Khan Sir's Allegations Against Rival Coaching Centre
Khan Sir directly accused a nearby coaching centre of orchestrating the attack. He cited low fees and strong student results as a motive for the assault. “The main issue seems to be why we are teaching for such low fees. Why are we getting such massive results? We appeal to the administration to keep security concerns in mind, recognising that the poor, too, have the right to an education. When results are produced in the thousands, certain anti-social elements tend to feel threatened. They think they can suppress us,” Khan Sir said.
He further claimed the attackers vandalized the office before opening fire. “The attackers completely vandalized the office and opened fire... The CCTV footage has been handed over to the authorities. Our security guard has also identified the perpetrators--it is the people from the nearby coaching center. We need protection; this is a matter for the administration to handle... It is obvious to everyone that the nearby coaching institute is behind this. They have even given the statements mentioning that they will blow up Khan Sir's coaching center,” he added.
