Patna court denies bail to Khan Sir's guards, seeks case diary in firing case
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
The Patna Civil Court on Tuesday, 16 June denied immediate bail relief to the two security guards employed by Faisal Khan — widely known as Khan Sir — in connection with a commotion, assault, and firing incident at Khan Global Studies, Musallahpur Hat, Patna. The court has directed police to submit an updated case diary along with other required investigation documents before the next hearing.
Court Directives and Next Hearing
During Tuesday's proceedings, the bench declined to grant immediate relief to the two accused guards and instead sought a fresh case diary from the investigating authorities. The next date of hearing has been fixed for 20 June.
A separate hearing concerning Faisal Khan himself is also scheduled for 20 June. Khan currently holds interim protection from arrest until that date in connection with the ongoing case.
Roshan Anand's Murder Conspiracy Allegation
The dispute has taken a sharper turn following fresh allegations by Roshan Anand, who was recently released from jail on bail. On Monday night, Anand publicly accused Faisal Khan and a cold storage owner of conspiring to murder his brother, Prince Yadav.
Prince Yadav died under suspicious circumstances in a hotel room in Biratnagar, Nepal. The matter is currently under investigation by Nepal Police, who have detained five associates of Prince Yadav for questioning. According to reports, investigators from Patna Police may also travel to coordinate on the probe.
Prince Yadav's last rites were performed late Monday night in his native village in Saharsa, attended by a large number of local residents and supporters. Family members have continued to demand justice, and his parents are reportedly undergoing treatment following the trauma of his death, according to family sources.
Associates of Roshan Anand are also reportedly preparing to file bail petitions in the matter.
Political Dimension: Tejashwi Demands CBI Probe
The controversy has now acquired a political dimension. Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the death of Prince Yadav. He has written to Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, arguing that the circumstances surrounding the death require a high-level, impartial investigation.
What Happens Next
With hearings for both the security guards and Faisal Khan scheduled for 20 June, and Nepal Police continuing their probe into the suspicious death, the case is set to intensify on multiple fronts — legal, investigative, and political — in the days ahead.
