Patna: Short Circuit Causes Fire Scare at Khan Sir's Coaching Centre, Video Surfaces
An electrical short circuit in the electricity room of Khan Sir's coaching institute in Patna's Musallahpur Haat caused a fire scare and rapid evacuation of hundreds of students. Institute staff used extinguishers to control the smoke before firefighters arrived. No casualties were reported, and authorities are reviewing safety protocols.
An electrical short circuit triggered a major fire scare at the coaching institute of popular educator Faisal Khan, widely known as Khan Sir, on Thursday evening, June 25. Thick smoke billowing from the ground floor of the building led to a rapid evacuation of hundreds of students who were attending classes at the time. While the incident caused brief panic, no injuries or casualties were reported. Staff members used on-site fire extinguishers to handle the situation immediately, preventing the electrical spark from developing into a wider structural fire.
Incident Timeline and Evacuation
The scare unfolded at Khan Sir's primary coaching facility, located inside the Kisan Cold Storage building in the bustling Musallahpur Haat locality. According to initial findings from local emergency responders, an electrical short circuit occurred within a joint in the wiring near the building's electricity room.

As smoke began filling parts of the premises, students rushed out of the complex, resulting in a chaotic scene on the surrounding streets. Security personnel and institute management deployed the building’s functional fire safety equipment to contain the problem right away. Personnel from the Kadamkuan police station and a team from the local fire brigade arrived shortly thereafter to secure the site. District Fire Officer Ritesh Kumar Pandey later clarified that the thick smoke seen by the public was largely exacerbated by the heavy discharge of chemical fire extinguishers rather than an out-of-control blaze.
Regulatory Inspections and Safety Context
The event comes at a time of heightened national scrutiny regarding safety guidelines inside commercial tutoring facilities. Following severe fire-related tragedies in recent months, municipal authorities across India have increased the frequency of safety audits and structural inspections for commercial buildings housing dense student populations. Following the containment of the smoke, the power department temporarily disconnected electricity to the affected block of the Musallahpur Haat complex as a precautionary safety measure. A technical team restored the power grid later that evening after replacing the damaged wiring joints and verifying the stability of the local network.
