Khan Sir surrenders in Patna court after attempted murder and Arms Act charges

Educator Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, surrendered before a civil court in Patna on Saturday in connection with a case linked to the attack on his coaching institute earlier this week. His appearance came after an FIR was registered against him and reports emerged that police teams were searching for him. The case includes charges related to attempted murder and provisions of the Arms Act.

The surrender followed days of speculation regarding Khan Sir’s whereabouts after reports indicated that investigators had been unable to contact him. According to sources, police teams had been looking for him since the registration of the FIR following violence at the Khan Global Studies Institute in Patna. The possibility of arrest had intensified attention on the case before he appeared before the court.

The controversy stems from an incident on Tuesday night when a group of around 15 to 20 people allegedly vandalised the coaching institute and hurled stones at the premises. Police launched an investigation following the attack and later named Khan Sir in the FIR. Authorities have stated that he would be questioned as part of the investigation into the incident.

The case escalated further after police detained two security guards employed at the institute on Thursday for allegedly opening fire during the disturbance. The action followed the circulation of a purported video on social media that appeared to show gunshots being fired during the incident. Khan Sir had initially alleged that individuals linked to a rival coaching institute were behind the firing but later stated that only a police investigation could determine whether firing had taken place and who was responsible.

The dispute widened after representatives of a rival coaching institute held a press conference and alleged that Khan Sir had orchestrated the vandalism. Those allegations have not been independently established and remain part of the broader investigation. Authorities have not publicly commented on the claims and have maintained that all aspects of the case are being examined as part of the ongoing probe.
