A Patna court has postponed its decision on the anticipatory bail plea of renowned educator and YouTuber Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, in connection with the coaching centre firing case that has attracted widespread attention across Bihar. The court has continued its interim protection, ensuring that no coercive action is taken against him until the next hearing.
The case relates to a violent incident that allegedly took place outside Khan Sir’s coaching institute in Patna, where tensions escalated following a dispute involving rival groups. The confrontation reportedly led to vandalism, stone-pelting, and the alleged use of firearms by security personnel deployed at the coaching institute. Following the incident, police launched an investigation and registered a case against several individuals, including Khan Sir.
Court Reserves Decision on Bail Plea
During the latest hearing, the court heard detailed arguments from both the prosecution and the defence before reserving its order on Khan Sir’s anticipatory bail application. While the court has not yet delivered its final decision, it has extended the interim protection already granted to the educator, allowing him to remain protected from arrest until the next date of hearing.
The postponement means the legal proceedings will continue while the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
Background of the Incident
The controversy began after violence erupted outside Khan Sir’s coaching institute in Patna. According to the police investigation, a group of individuals allegedly attempted to vandalise the coaching premises, resulting in chaos and unrest in the area.
During the disturbance, security guards stationed at the institute allegedly opened fire. The incident prompted immediate police intervention, and an FIR was registered against several persons connected to the case.
Investigators later included Khan Sir’s name in the FIR after statements recorded during the investigation allegedly suggested that the security personnel acted under his instructions. Based on these findings, authorities booked him under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act. ![]()
Defence Rejects Allegations
Khan Sir’s legal team has strongly denied the allegations against him. His lawyers argued before the court that he had no direct involvement in the firing incident and that the security personnel acted independently to protect themselves and the coaching institute after it allegedly came under attack.
The defence further stated that Khan Sir has fully cooperated with the investigation and has complied with every legal requirement. His counsel maintained that custodial interrogation is unnecessary and requested the court to grant anticipatory bail to safeguard his liberty while the investigation continues.
Police Investigation Continues
The investigation remains active as police continue collecting evidence related to the incident. Authorities are examining CCTV footage, witness statements, forensic evidence, and other materials to establish the exact sequence of events.
Officials are also investigating the role of every individual named in the FIR, including the security personnel who allegedly opened fire and those accused of participating in the violence outside the coaching institute.
Security Guards Also Facing Legal Proceedings
Apart from Khan Sir’s anticipatory bail plea, legal proceedings involving the arrested security guards are also underway. Their regular bail applications are being considered separately as the court examines the circumstances surrounding the firing incident.
The outcome of these proceedings is expected to play a significant role in the overall investigation.
What Happens Next
With the court yet to pronounce its order, Khan Sir continues to enjoy temporary protection from arrest. The final ruling on his anticipatory bail plea will determine the immediate legal course of the case while police continue their investigation.
The matter has generated significant public interest due to Khan Sir’s popularity as an educator and digital content creator. As the investigation progresses, authorities are expected to examine all available evidence before taking any further legal action.
