A Patna civil court has granted anticipatory bail to educator and YouTuber Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, in a firing case outside his coaching institute. The court also granted anticipatory bail to three of his staff members, while the two security guards arrested in the case secured regular bail. The bail was granted by the Principal District and Sessions Court to Khan, Khan Global Studies (KGS) manager Kanhaiya Kumar Singh, Ajit Kumar, and Ankit Kumar Pandey.
The two security guards, who had been in judicial custody, were granted regular bail. The relief comes in a case that has seen multiple FIRs, competing allegations, and parallel investigations following violence outside Khan Global Studies in Patna’s Musallahpur Haat area on the night of June 2. According to the police, a group of 15-20 persons allegedly linked to Gyan Bindu Coaching Institute reached the KGS premises around 10.10 pm, pelted stones, vandalized property, and assaulted security guard Chun Chun, who sustained head injuries.
Following the attack, Khan alleged that anti-social elements had assaulted his guards and damaged the institute. However, the investigation later took a different turn after police verified videos purportedly showing two KGS security guards firing outside the institute after the violence had ended. The guards allegedly told investigators that Khan and others had instructed them to fire at the crowd.
Based on these allegations, police registered a separate FIR against Khan, the two guards, and other unidentified persons. The June 2 violence also resulted in proceedings against the rival coaching institute. During the investigation, Prince Yadav, Anand’s brother and an accused in the vandalism case, was found dead at a hotel in Nepal.
Local police there said the initial autopsy indicated no foul play, though the final investigation report is awaited.
