A Patna court on Tuesday, 9 June granted interim relief to popular educator Faisal Khan, widely known as Khan Sir, staying his arrest in connection with the coaching centre firing case that has gripped the city since early this month. The District Judge's court issued the order after reserving its verdict on Khan Sir's anticipatory bail plea following a hearing on Monday.
What the Court Ordered
While the court has not yet formally granted anticipatory bail, it has directed the police to refrain from taking any coercive or punitive action against Khan Sir until further proceedings. The court has additionally sought the case diary and details of Khan Sir's criminal history from the investigating agency — a routine judicial step in anticipatory bail hearings. The next date of hearing has been fixed for 30 June.
Relief for Khan Sir
Speaking after the order, Khan Sir's counsel Advocate Arvind Kumar Mahuar said that Khan Sir is now free to move around as he pleases, with the court's protection from arrest firmly in place. The stay provides significant relief to the educator, who had reportedly been out of the police's reach since the First Information Report (FIR) was registered against him. Law enforcement officials had visited his coaching institute in an attempt to apprehend him but did not find him there.
The Coaching Centre Attack: What Happened
The case originates from an incident on the night of 2 June, when unidentified individuals allegedly attacked Khan Global Studies, the coaching institute run by Khan Sir in Patna. A video that subsequently surfaced showed two security guards allegedly firing shots into the air outside the institute during the attack, sharply escalating the controversy. Police arrested both guards and also took into custody Roshan Anand, the owner of Gyan Bindu Coaching Institute, who was sent to judicial custody.
FIR Against Khan Sir
Khan Sir was later named in the case, with police registering an FIR against him under provisions related to attempted murder and the Arms Act. The registration of the FIR had raised the prospect of immediate arrest, making Tuesday's court order a crucial development for the educator. Notably, this is the first formal judicial intervention in the case since the FIR was filed.
What Happens Next
The anticipatory bail plea remains pending and will be taken up again on 30 June. The court's decision to seek the case diary and criminal record details suggests the matter will be examined carefully before a final order on bail is passed. Whether Khan Sir's arrest can ultimately be staved off will depend on the outcome of that hearing.
Point of View
Even 'into the air', carries serious legal weight, and the FIR's framing under attempted murder provisions suggests investigators are not treating this as a minor altercation. The rivalry between coaching institutes in Patna's hyper-competitive education market has long simmered beneath the surface; this incident has brought it into the open in the most dramatic way possible. The 30 June hearing will reveal whether the case diary supports the severity of the charges — or whether the FIR was an overreach.
