Patna:
An incident of vandalism and assault was reported on Tuesday night at the coaching centre run by popular educator Khan Sir in Patna. According to reports, some men barged into the coaching centre and assaulted the guard. The injured guard has been admitted to hospital for treatment. Following the incident, police have started an investigation and are trying to identify the accused based on the CCTV footage.
After receiving the incident, Khan Sir reached the coaching centre around 11:30 PM. He alleged that some anti-social elements entered the coaching centre and assaulted the guard. There were earlier reports of firing at the centre, but later it was clarified that it was a case of vandalism and no shots were fired. Property inside the coaching centre was also damaged in the attack.
Suspicion On Rival Coaching Centres
Khan Sir said that thousands of students from his coaching centre were recently selected in the Bihar Police recruitment exam. A felicitation programme was organised for the successful students. He claimed that after the event, some people reached the coaching centre and threatened that it would be “blown up” within two days.
Khan Sir also expressed suspicion that some coaching operators could be behind the incident. He alleged that some people oppose his coaching centre because it provides affordable education. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding this so far.
After the incident, the coaching management handed over CCTV footage to the police. Meanwhile, the injured guard has also claimed to have identified some of the accused. Patna SSP Kartikeya Sharma said that the initial probe suggests some students were involved in the assault and tearing down of posters.
A group of students on Wednesdar morning gathered outside the coaching centre to protest against the attack. Police have increased security in the area.
