A Patna Civil Court today granted anticipatory bail to educator Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, in connection with the coaching institute firing case. Three staff members of his coaching institute were also granted anticipatory bail.
The court additionally granted bail to two security guards who had been arrested in the case.
“Six people have been granted bail. The judge first announced Khan Sir’s anticipatory bail, followed by that of his three staff members,” advocate Arvind Kumar Mouar told reporters.
The case stems from a firing incident in early June after Khan Sir’s coaching institute was allegedly vandalised by a group of miscreants. His two security guards have been accused of opening fire during the incident.
Faisal Khan was named in an FIR registered after the alleged firing. The court had granted him protection from arrest on June 9, which was later extended until June 30.
On July 8, the court reserved its order on Khan Sir’s anticipatory bail plea after hearing final arguments from both sides. It was scheduled to pronounce the order on Friday but deferred the decision until July 13 as the district judge was on leave.
