Police in Patna registered an FIR against educator Faisal Khan, known as Khan Sir, after security guards opened fire on a crowd [1].

The incident highlights a volatile escalation in the competitive coaching industry in Bihar, where business rivalries have transitioned from academic competition to physical violence.

The shooting occurred Tuesday, June 2 [1], outside the Khan Global Academy, also referred to as Khan Global Studies [1], [2]. An agitated crowd had gathered at the institute during what has been described as a coaching-center turf war [2].

According to reports, the security guards opened fire on the crowd [1]. The legal action followed the emergence of a viral video that captured the shooting [2]. Police subsequently booked Khan Sir under the Arms Act [2].

Investigation into the event revealed a conflict between the guards and the institute's owner. The guards said they were ordered by Khan Sir to fire at the crowd [1], [2].

Authorities are now probing the role of the institute's owner in the incident [2]. Police are also investigating whether the event was a self-orchestrated drama intended to manipulate public perception or a genuine security failure [2].

“Police registered an FIR against Khan Sir under the Arms Act after a viral video showed the shooting.”

This case underscores the increasing tension within India's private education sector, specifically in hubs like Patna. The transition from professional rivalry to the use of armed security and alleged orchestrated violence suggests a breakdown in local regulatory oversight of coaching institutes and a dangerous shift in how these businesses manage public disputes.
