Patna Court Extends Khan Sir's Protection From Arrest Until June 30

Police have filed an updated case diary that says the June 2 firing was not self‑defence, making the June 30 hearing decisive for bail and custody.

Overview

  • The Patna Civil Court on Saturday kept a 'no coercive action' order in place for educator Faisal Khan and listed final arguments for June 30 after receiving an updated police case diary.
  • Kadamkuan police told the court in the case diary that the June 2 firing outside Khan Global Studies was not an act of self‑defence and that the shots appeared meant to create panic.
  • Video footage shown to investigators reportedly captured two of Khan Sir’s security guards firing into the air; those guards were arrested and remain in judicial custody.
  • Police say the guards told investigators they acted on Khan Sir’s instructions and his name was later added to the FIR, while his lawyers say he is being falsely implicated and is cooperating with the probe.
  • The June 30 hearing will decide Khan Sir’s anticipatory bail and the guards’ bail applications and could determine whether the interim protection is lifted, a result that would affect custody and the course of the criminal case and public reputation for the coaching sector.
