Khan Sir conspired Prince Yadav’s murder, alleges Roshan Sir after bail release

A day after Prince Yadav, the brother of educator Roshan Anand, popularly known as “Roshan Sir”, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Nepal, the coaching centre rivalry that has gripped Patna took a dramatic turn, with Anand accusing his long-time rival Khan Sir of being behind his brother’s death.

Soon after securing bail in the vandalism case linked to Khan Global Studies, Anand alleged that Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, had conspired to murder Prince Yadav. Anand had been arrested in connection with the violent clash at one of Khan Sir’s coaching centres earlier this month.

Conspiracy allegation

“Patna Police arrested me based on a false complaint by Khan. While I was in jail, he got my brother murdered. I seek justice for Prince,” Anand told reporters after his release.

Escalating his attack, Anand alleged that Khan Sir had failed to cooperate with investigators and demanded a thorough probe into the case. “Faisal Khan spends his entire day conspiring; he doesn’t actually teach. Patna Police should investigate this thoroughly. I am ready to cooperate with the investigation,” he said.

Accused found dead

Both Anand and Prince Yadav had been named as accused in the June 2 vandalism case at Khan Global Studies. While Anand was arrested, Prince had reportedly travelled to Nepal and was allegedly trying to evade arrest after his name surfaced in the FIR.

Prince Yadav was found dead at a hotel in Biratnagar, Nepal, on Sunday (June 14). Authorities in Nepal are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, and the exact cause has not yet been officially established.

However, some media reports have claimed that Yadav may have sustained injuries during the firing incident outside Khan Sir’s coaching centre on June 3 and later succumbed to those injuries while undergoing treatment in Biratnagar. Neither the Bihar Police nor Nepalese authorities have officially confirmed these claims.

Khan denies allegations

Responding to the allegations, Khan Sir released a video message expressing condolences over Yadav’s death while denying any involvement. “I am saddened by the news of Prince Yadav’s death. I offer my condolences to his brother Raushan Anand, though he is levelling false charges against me,” Khan said.

Anand, meanwhile, demanded that Khan Sir undergo a narco-analysis test and maintained that the truth would eventually emerge through an impartial investigation.

Decade-long rivalry

The latest developments mark a new chapter in a rivalry that has been brewing for years between Khan Global Studies and Gyan Bindu GS Academy. While the roots of the conflict stretch back nearly a decade, tensions intensified earlier this year after Bihar Forest Range Officer topper Abhishek Patel became the centre of a public dispute between the two institutes.

Both coaching centres claimed credit for Patel’s success. Khan Sir organised a large felicitation ceremony and asserted that a majority of successful candidates had studied under him. In response, Anand released WhatsApp conversations that he claimed showed Patel had primarily prepared at Gyan Bindu Academy and accused Khan Sir of “buying” the topper for Rs 10 lakh.

According to police investigations, a late-night dispute allegedly involving promotional banners and territorial dominance near coaching premises escalated into vandalism, assaults on security personnel and gunfire outside Khan GS Research Centre earlier this month.
