Patna Court Stays Arrest of Educator Khan Sir in Coaching‑Centre Firing Case

Police may question Khan as forensic tests and a court review seek to verify guards' statements linking him to the shots fired outside his institute.

Overview

  • The district judge granted interim protection from arrest to Faisal Khan after hearing his anticipatory‑bail plea, barring any coercive action while the petition is pending.
  • The case began with an attack on Khan Global Studies when about 15–20 people allegedly vandalised the institute and attacked a guard on June 2, prompting police complaints and counterclaims by rival centres.
  • A viral video showing two security guards firing led to their arrest, seizure of the weapons and dispatch of those arms to the Forensic Science Laboratory for ballistic testing.
  • Investigators say the detained guards told police they fired on instructions from Khan, prompting an FIR at Kadamkuan Police Station that names Khan and two others under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and sections of the Arms Act.
  • The probe continues with the court ordering production of the case diary and antecedent records, rival director Raushan Anand still in custody, and Khan moving the Patna High Court to seek quashing of the FIR and reopening of his institute.
