Police in Patna have filed an FIR after gunfire was reported outside the coaching centre of popular instructor Khan Sir [1].
The incident has raised concerns regarding public safety and the legality of private security measures in the city. Because Khan Sir maintains a massive following among students, any instability at his premises could trigger wider civil unrest or disrupt local law and order.
Authorities are currently investigating the origin of the shots. A viral video suggests that Khan Sir's own bodyguard may have fired the weapon [2]. However, other reports indicate that the investigation remains ongoing and no definitive attribution to the bodyguard has been confirmed [1].
Patna SSP Kartikeya Sharma said that strict action will be taken against those who disrupt law and order [1]. The police are treating the event as a serious breach of peace.
Law enforcement officials have already taken steps to secure the area. A police spokesperson said, "We have sent three accused to judicial custody while the investigation into the bodyguard’s possible involvement continues" [2]. In total, three individuals have been sent to judicial custody in connection with the case [2].
The presence of firearms in a densely populated educational hub has prompted the SSP to warn that anyone disrupting public peace will face severe consequences [1]. Police continue to review digital evidence to determine the exact sequence of events that led to the gunfire.
“"We have sent three accused to judicial custody while the investigation into the bodyguard’s possible involvement continues."”
This incident highlights the volatile intersection of private security and public order in India's high-pressure coaching hubs. The investigation into the bodyguard's potential involvement suggests a possible failure in security protocols, while the swift judicial custody of three suspects indicates a police effort to prevent the situation from escalating into a larger public disturbance.
