An FIR has been registered against Khan Sir at Kadamkuan police station under charges of attempt to murder and provisions of the Arms Act. Police registered the case based on findings that emerged during the arrest and interrogation of security personnel allegedly involved in the incident.

Guards Detained After Alleged Firing Video Surfaces

Bihar Police on Thursday detained two security guards associated with Khan Global Studies for alleged firing, a day after unidentified persons vandalised the coaching centre and pelted stones at the premises.

According to police, the action followed the circulation of a purported video on social media that appeared to show two guards firing shots into the air.

A case was subsequently registered at Kadamkuan police station and an investigation was launched.

“During investigations, police obtained a purported video showing two individuals carrying out aerial firing. Following verification of the video, two guards linked to KGS have been taken into custody for questioning,” the office of the City SP (Central) said in a statement.

Weapons Seized, Forensic Examination Underway

Investigators said the weapons allegedly used during the firing have been recovered and sent for forensic examination.

Police are examining the sequence of events surrounding the violence, including the circumstances under which the firing allegedly took place.

The findings from the interrogation of the detained guards reportedly formed the basis for registering the case against Khan Sir.

Coaching Centre Came Under Attack

The incident began when a group of around 15 to 20 people allegedly vandalised the institute and threw stones at the premises on Tuesday night.

Soon after the attack, Khan Sir claimed that individuals linked to a rival coaching institute were responsible for the violence and alleged firing.

However, he later stated that only a police investigation could conclusively establish whether firing had actually taken place.
