A Patna court grants anticipatory bail to Faisal Khan, popularly known as “Khan Sir,” and three staff members in connection with a firing incident outside his coaching institute. The case stems from the night of 2 June, when unidentified people allegedly vandalised the Khan Global Studies Institute and pelted stones at the premises. According to police and reports, two private security guards were later arrested and kept in judicial custody, with investigations relying on video evidence showing them firing into the air after the vandalism. The court order also gives regular bail to the two guards. Khan Sir’s defence argues that any firing was defensive, involving warning shots aimed at dealing with a violent mob rather than causing harm, and that the investigation does not find evidence Khan Sir issued an order to fire. Reports also note that police registered an FIR after the alleged vandalism and that Khan Sir disputes involvement, claiming a rival orchestrated the incident. While some accounts mention allegations by the guards about an order to open fire, the court’s grant of anticipatory bail indicates it accepts the defence’s submissions at this stage.
