Allegations Of Firing Under Investigation
Khan Sir alleged that shots were fired during the attack and claimed the incident was orchestrated by individuals linked to a neighbouring coaching institute.
According to him, tensions had arisen due to his institute’s lower fee structure and academic performance. He further alleged that threats had been issued against the coaching centre in recent days.
However, police said they have not yet confirmed whether any firing took place during the incident.
Rivalry Angle Being Examined
Sources indicated that investigators are examining whether the incident was linked to an ongoing dispute involving competing coaching institutes in the area.
Patna SP Diksha Kumari said preliminary information suggests that a disagreement related to posters may have preceded the incident.
“About 10 to 12 people reached the spot. Confirmation regarding firing has not been established yet. Investigation is underway. One person has been injured and CCTV footage is being examined,” the officer said.
Coaching Centre Closed, Security Tightened
Following the attack, security has been enhanced around the coaching institute, with police personnel deployed in the vicinity.
Students were seen gathering outside the coaching centre after news of the incident spread.
Khan Sir has announced the temporary closure of the institute, and sources said the coaching centre may remain shut for the next few days as authorities continue their investigation.
Police are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify those involved and determine the circumstances that led to the violence.
