Educationist and coaching institute owner Faisal Khan, widely known as Khan Sir, will not surrender before the Patna Civil Court in connection with a case linked to the June 2 attack on his coaching centre. His lawyer, Arvind Kumar Mavvar, confirmed that the legal team plans to seek anticipatory bail, with the application now scheduled to be moved on Monday, June 8. The deadline to file the plea had ended on Saturday, necessitating the Monday filing.
Details of the Case
The case stems from an attack on Khan Sir’s institute, where videos showed several individuals allegedly assaulting a security guard, pelting bricks and stones, and tearing down posters outside the premises. While initial reports suggested firing, Patna Police denied any gunfire. Two security guards employed at the institute have already been arrested and sent to jail. Khan Sir was questioned during the investigation but has not been arrested.
Legal Strategy
Lawyer Arvind Kumar Mavvar stated, “Khan Sir will not surrender. We are filing an anticipatory bail plea on Monday. The court will hear the matter and decide on the relief.” The anticipatory bail plea is a pre-arrest bail application, which if granted, would protect Khan Sir from arrest in connection with the case.
Background
