Patna Court Grants Anticipatory Bail To Khan Sir In Coaching‑Institute Firing Case

The order shields Khan Sir from immediate arrest, leaving police to carry out forensic tests of seized weapons, verify arms licences, pursue parallel inquiries into who ordered the firing.

Overview

  • A Patna civil court on Monday granted anticipatory bail to educator Faisal Khan and three staff members and gave regular bail to two security guards who had been jailed in the June 2 incident.
  • The case began after 15–20 people allegedly vandalised Khan Global Studies on June 2 and a video later circulated that purported to show two KGS guards firing; police registered an FIR at Kadamkuan police station and seized the weapons for forensic analysis.
  • During interrogation the two guards told police they fired after receiving instructions they attributed to Khan Sir, a claim Khan rejects while saying the shots were fired in self‑defence and calling the matter a plot to defame him.
  • Investigators are verifying the guards’ arms licences and examining forensic results and witness material, and the state has opposed efforts to quash the FIR on grounds that the probe has produced prima facie evidence.
  • The dispute has produced multiple FIRs, the arrest and bail of rival‑institute figures, and the unexplained death of a named accused’s relative in Nepal, raising regulatory checks on KGS and keeping further hearings and probe findings as the next key developments.
