Khan Sir Gets Anticipatory Bail By Patna Court In Coaching Centre Firing Case

A Patna district court granted relief to educator Faisal Khan. He is known as Khan Sir. The court gave him protection from arrest on Tuesday. This relates to a recent firing incident case. The incident occurred at his coaching institute.

The judge heard his anticipatory bail plea. The court issued interim protection. Police may continue to question Khan. However, they cannot arrest him for now. No coercive action can be taken against him. These orders remain in force until further notice.

The court also looked at evidence files. Police were told to provide the case diary. The court heard arguments from Khan's lawyer. It also reserved judgement on Roshan Anand's bail plea. Anand is another accused person in this case. The investigation into these events is ongoing.

Background of the controversy

The case stems from a June 2 incident. A group of people attacked the coaching centre. They vandalised the Khan Global Studies premises in Patna. The attackers also pelted stones at the building. Police later detained two security guards. This happened after a video went viral online.

The video showed the guards firing shots. Police have seized the weapons used. They sent the arms for forensic testing. The guards are currently in judicial custody. The FIR was filed at Kadamkuan police station. The investigation continues to look into the matter.

Khan earlier blamed a rival coaching institute. He claimed they were behind the attack. Members of the rival institute made counterclaims. They accused Khan of planning the incident himself. They claimed the firing event was staged. Khan Sir has denied these serious allegations.
