Khan Sir vs Raushan Sir: Poster War, Bullets & Coaching Rivalry That Brought Patna To Standstill | Explained Published By, Edited By Last Updated: June 09, 2026, 08:48 IST From stolen credit for toppers to bombs, bullets and arrests — the Khan Sir-Raushan Anand turf war has been years in the making. Here's how it all unravelled. Khan Sir is YouTube's favourite exam guru; Raushan Anand runs Patna's offline coaching powerhouse so feared by rivals they call it the "Daroga Factory." Together, they share a campus — and nothing else. They teach Bihar’s most ambitious students how to crack government exams — but for years, Khan Sir and Raushan Anand have been fighting a battle of their own. What started as a rivalry over posters and result claims has now landed one man in jail, put another at risk of arrest, and dragged thousands of students onto the streets of Patna. This is not a new fight. It is a long-simmering turf war — over students, credit, campus space, and ultimately, money — that finally boiled over in the first week of June 2025. Here is everything you need to know. Who Are The Two Men At The Centre Of This? Khan Sir — real name Faisal Khan — is one of India’s most-watched educators on YouTube. His no-frills teaching style, delivered in Hindi, earned him a massive following among students from small towns preparing for government jobs. He runs Khan Global Studies (KGS) in Patna’s Musallahpur area. Raushan Anand runs Gyan Bindu GS Academy, also based in the same Musallahpur coaching cluster. His institute is widely called the “Daroga Factory" — slang for Sub-Inspector Factory — because of its strong track record in Bihar Police recruitment exams. Both operate out of the same campus: Kisan Cold Storage, a coaching hub in Musallahpur. That shared address is at the root of everything. How Did The Rivalry Begin? According to NDTV’s investigation, the bad blood goes back years. After Covid-19 shut down several smaller coaching centres on the campus, Khan Sir expanded — renting out vacant halls and offices, until his institute controlled most of the space.
This created friction with the remaining centres, including Gyan Bindu. Every year, after the Bihar Police sub-inspector exam results are declared, both institutes race to claim the highest number of successful candidates. This year, one claimed 12,000 selections, the other 10,000. The competition is not just about pride — it directly drives student admissions and, therefore, revenue. The sparks turned into fire after the Bihar forest range officer exam results came out in February 2025. The topper, Abhishek Kumar (also known as Abhishek Patel), was claimed by both institutes. Khan Sir said 18 of the 24 selected candidates were his students. Raushan Anand also claimed the topper — and produced WhatsApp chats to back it up. When Abhishek Patel visited Khan Sir’s centre in March for a felicitation event, Raushan Anand publicly accused Khan Sir of “buying" the topper for Rs 10 lakh. Abhishek Patel denied the allegation. But the damage was done. What Happened On The Night Of June 2? On the night of June 2, a group of roughly 15 to 20 individuals allegedly stormed the Khan Global Studies premises in Musallahpur, damaging property and assaulting a security guard. Khan Sir’s team alleged it was an attack by people linked to Gyan Bindu. The trouble had been building since May 27, right after the Bihar Police recruitment exam results were announced. Staff from both institutes had stuck rival celebration banners across Patna, and things turned ugly when Khan Global Studies workers pasted their posters over Gyan Bindu’s. Then came the plot twist. A video surfaced on social media showing two security guards linked to Khan Global Studies firing shots into the air after the clash. Patna Police verified the footage, registered a separate case, and detained the two guards. The weapons were seized and sent for forensic examination. Raushan Anand, for his part, rejected allegations linking him to the attack and claimed the firing was a carefully planned publicity stunt — that Khan Sir had orchestrated the episode to attract sympathy and boost his public image.
