A Bihar Court on Saturday granted interim relief to educator Faisal Khan, popularly known as “Khan Sir’’, during the hearing of his anticipatory bail plea. The court upheld a “no-coercive action” order, directing the police not to take any harsh action against him until the next hearing in connection with the coaching institute firing case. 

Earlier, the Patna Police had registered an FIR against Faisal Khan and two others in connection with the June 2 firing and vandalism incident outside his coaching institute. The FIR registration took place days after a group of people allegedly vandalised the Khan Global Studies Institute and pelted stones at its premises earlier that week. “Following the incident, Case No. 410/26 was registered, and an investigation was launched. During the course of the probe, a video was recovered which showed two individuals engaging in aerial firing following the act of vandalism,” the police statement read.
