According to Patna City SDPO Atulesh Jha, the individuals identified as Ashwini Kumar from Rohtas and Mohammad Faiyaz from Samastipur were recognized after an analysis of CCTV footage from the examination venue.

“The investigation has also raised concerns about the possible involvement of certain coaching institutes. We are examining this issue closely and have made it clear that any coaching institute found to be involved in inciting the chaos will face severe penalties. The police are continuing their investigation to uncover the complete scope of the incident and any external influences,” he added.
