Three people, including the director of a coaching institute, were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the attack on educator Khan Sir’s coaching centre in Patna, even as police said CCTV footage had not confirmed reports of firing outside the premises.
The arrests came hours after Patna Police released a statement saying the incident appeared to involve stone-pelting and vandalism by a group of 15 to 20 people allegedly linked to another coaching institute. The clarification has added a fresh twist to the case, which was initially reported as a firing incident that left a security guard injured and sparked protests by students.
