Bihar Police filed a first information report against tutor Faisal Khan, known as Khan Sir, following a firing incident at his coaching centre.
The case involves allegations of directed violence and vandalism in a high-traffic educational hub, raising questions about the security protocols and legal liability of private educators in Patna.
The incident took place at the Khan Global Studies centre located in the Kadamkuan area of Patna. According to police reports, the event involved both firing and stone-pelting vandalism at the facility [1, 2].
Authorities detained two security guards associated with the centre on Thursday [1]. One of the detained guards said he opened fire on the instructions of the educator [1]. This statement forms the basis of the current investigation into whether the gunfire was a coordinated response or an unauthorized action by staff.
The police are currently investigating the sequence of events that led to the violence in the Kadamkuan area [1, 2]. An FIR has been formally filed against Faisal Khan in connection with the firing case [2].
Khan Sir is a prominent figure in the Indian coaching industry, known for his large following and accessible teaching style. The transition from a classroom environment to a scene of gunfire and stone-pelting marks a significant escalation in the tensions surrounding the facility. Police have not yet released a full timeline of the confrontation or identified the individuals responsible for the initial stone-pelting [1, 2].
“Two security guards were detained following a violent incident involving stone-pelting and gunfire.”
This incident highlights the volatile intersection of high-profile private education and public security in Bihar. If the allegation that a tutor ordered security personnel to open fire is proven, it could lead to severe criminal charges and a shift in how the state regulates the private security apparatus used by celebrity educators.
