A Bihar court granted interim relief on Saturday to educator Faisal Khan, widely known as 'Khan Sir,' during the hearing of his plea for anticipatory bail. The court issued a 'no coercive action' order, directing the police to refrain from taking any harsh measures against him in connection with a coaching institute firing case until the next court date.
The case stems from an incident on the night of June 2, when a group allegedly vandalized Khan Global Studies Institute and engaged in stone-pelting. Police registered an FIR against Khan Sir and two others days later, following the vandalism. Officials stated that two guards associated with the institute were arrested based on video evidence showing aerial firing after the vandalism.
According to a press release from the Patna Police, the FIR was registered under abetment and Arms Act sections. In light of the incident, the Patna Police also issued an appeal to the student community. They urged students not to be misled by professional rivalries or competition among coaching centers, emphasizing that law and order would be maintained without compromise.
All students are requested not to be misled by anyone amidst coaching center competitions. No compromise will be made regarding crime control and the maintenance of law and order.
