Khan Sir Faces Fresh Scrutiny In Patna Coaching Centre Firing Case
An FIR registered in connection with the incident also named Khan Sir. On June 9, the court granted him protection from arrest while the investigation continued.
The legal troubles of Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir and director of Khan Global Studies, may deepen amid the ongoing investigation into the firing incident linked to his coaching institute in Patna. Police have reportedly raised questions over the weapons used by Khan Sir's two bodyguards during the firing. According to sources, investigators have recorded significant findings regarding the verification of the firearms in the case diary.
Police claim that the weapon carried by Khan Sir's bodyguard, Talebar Singh, did not have a valid permit for use in Bihar. The firearm used in the firing has come under scrutiny over its licence. Investigators have also objected to the use of the weapon carried by the second bodyguard, Pradeep Kumar. The updated case diary reportedly includes key observations regarding both firearms.

During Saturday's hearing, the investigating officer submitted an updated case diary before the court. The matter was adjourned until Tuesday for further arguments.
