Big Relief For ‘Khan Sir’: Educator Faisal Khan Gets Interim Protection From Arrest In Patna Coaching Firing Case

Jagran Correspondent | Patna: Patna District Judge on Tuesday has granted a stay on the Educator Khan Sir's arrest in the case registered against him for allegedly orchestrating a firing at his coaching institute last week. Khan allegedly told his security guards to open fire at a crowd outside his Khan Global Studies (KGS) coaching center.

What Is The Matter?

This comes after the court reserved its order on the bail plea of Khan's professional rival Raushan Anand, director of Gyan Bindu Coaching Institute, who was arrested in a counter FIR linked to the same case.

Khan's counsel Arvind Kumar Mouar on Monday said that his client's anticipatory bail plea has been filed. It has been listed for tomorrow, and the first hearing will take place on Tuesday.

Khan's security guards Pradeep Kumar and Talebar Singh's bail plea was heard in the court of the First Class Judicial Magistrate in Patna on Monday. The next hearing is scheduled to be held on Wednesday.

The court proceedings come a week after violence had erupted outside Khan's coaching institute located at Patna's Musallahpur area. The cops claimed that at least 15-20 men vandalised the coaching premises, hurled stones, and beat a security guard identified as Chun Chun.

KGS manager Kanhaiya Kumar Singh made a complaint that some people attacked the coaching centre, damaged property, and "threatened to blow it up." Based on this, the police arrested three people from Gyan Bindu Institute, including Anand.

Video Surfaces

However, the investigation took a significant turn as police scanned videos that surfaced online. The clips captured two KGS security guards firing outside the institute. The two were subsequently arrested.

Following this, a case was filed against Khan and the two security guards on charges of attempted murder under sections of the Arms Act. However, Khan claimed that the guards opened fire as a part of retaliation.
