A Patna court on Saturday extended the stay on the arrest of educator Faisal Khan, popularly known as 'Khan Sir', in connection with the coaching institute firing case until the next hearing on June 30, his lawyer confirmed.
Case Background and Incident Details
The case stems from a firing incident that occurred in early June after Khan Sir's coaching institute was allegedly vandalized by a group of miscreants. During the incident, his security guards are accused of opening fire. Khan Sir was named in the First Information Report (FIR), and the court had initially granted him protection from arrest on June 9.
Latest Court Hearing
During the latest hearing, the updated case diary was submitted by the investigating officer. The matter was deferred for arguments until Tuesday. Khan Sir's lawyer, Arvind Kumar Mouar, told reporters: "The updated case diary has been submitted by the investigating officer. The matter has been listed for arguments on Tuesday, and the 'no coercive action' order against Khan Sir will remain in force till then. The final hearing is expected to take place on that day."
Related Case and Cooperation
Mouar also noted that the case involving Khan Sir's security guards, which is linked to the same incident, has also been listed for hearing on Tuesday. He emphasized that Khan Sir is cooperating with the police and investigating officers, stating: "Khan Sir is cooperating with the police and the investigating officers."
Impact and Next Steps
The extension of protection means Khan Sir cannot be arrested until at least June 30, when the court is expected to hear arguments and potentially deliver a final decision. The case has drawn significant attention due to Khan Sir's popularity as an educator and social media influencer.
