New Delhi: In connection to the violent protests over the Railways selection process of its recruitment exams, an FIR has been filed against well-known teacher and YouTuber, Khan Sir, along with five teachers of coaching institutes in Patna.

The police had started probing the allegations against them for instigating students regarding the RRB-NTPC exam results. The FIR has been registered at Patrakar Nagar police station. According to the police, further action will be taken based on the video footage and the statements of those arrested from the spot.

Meanwhile, Khan Sir has spoken to ABP News regarding the allegations against him. In the interview with the channel, Khan dismissed such allegations saying that he was appealing to the students for peace. Khan said, “We had just started the digital movement earlier. We kept the kids with us. The students got angry after the decision of RRB. We came to know about it after the protest started.”

Khan added that if RRB had spoken to the children then the protest could have been averted. Khan said, "We are asking students not to protest. If RRB had talked to the children, the protest would not have happened.” Khan is popular because of his YouTube channel with lakhs of followers, but now the sword of investigation hangs on him.

A bulk of the job aspirants are reported to be from Uttar Pradesh, followed by Bihar and Rajasthan.

On Wednesday, for the third consecutive day, students targeted trains in Bihar. Several coaches of the train were set ablaze by students in Gaya.

In Prayagraj, six policemen, one inspector, two sub-inspectors, and three constables have been suspended for using force unnecessarily in Prayagraj, said Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ajay Kumar, as reported by news agency ANI.

The video recording of the students, protesting against the railway recruitment process and allegedly trying to stop a train on Tuesday, went viral on the internet.

Panic gripped Prayagraj railway station and adjoining areas under the limits of GRP police station for more than an hour after scores of students preparing for competitive exams made an abortive bid to stop a passenger train.
