June 4, 2026 /Posted byPrajwal EW / 0

A coaching institute run by educator Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, was allegedly vandalised and pelted with stones in Patna on Tuesday night, police said.

The incident took place at Khan Global Coaching Institute in the Kadamkuan area. Police said they received information at around 10.10 pm regarding stone-pelting and damage to property at the institute and immediately dispatched a team to the location.

According to a statement issued by the City SP office, preliminary investigations and CCTV footage suggest that 15 to 20 individuals associated with another coaching institute in the city were allegedly involved in the incident.

Addressing reporters after the attack, Khan alleged that the group damaged property, assaulted a security guard and fired gunshots at the premises. He claimed the dispute stemmed from resentment over the institute’s low-cost coaching model and its success in competitive examinations.

Police confirmed that a physical assault had taken place but said CCTV footage had not established any evidence of firing.

Authorities said raids were underway to apprehend those involved, and further legal action would be taken in accordance with the law.

“An uneducated Indian is not a free Indian. India’s education system remains trapped in regulations that reward compliance over learning and scarcity over opportunity. The solution to exam leaks, coaching factories and unemployability is not more licensing, but more supply. We need more schools, more colleges, more competition and more education entrepreneurs. A 21st-century education must not only impart knowledge but encourage questioning. India does not need fewer cooks in the kitchen; it needs more cooks, more recipes and fewer bureaucrats guarding empty plates.”

India’s examination system rests on a foundational assumption that the process is fair, even when outcomes disappoint, and once that trust erodes, the system loses its legitimacy. This is not merely a technical controversy but a credibility crisis, because digitising evaluation is not the same as reforming it. Technology can assist evaluation, but it cannot replace the intellectual responsibility that fair assessment demands. The controversy has shown that technology has not removed subjectivity or error, it has merely shifted them into a different format. Educational institutions cannot run experiments on students whose futures depend on these results, and the obligation is to anticipate failure before implementation, not offer explanations after the damage is done.
