Patna’s competitive coaching industry was rocked this week when a violent attack on one of Bihar’s most beloved educators turned into a full-blown legal and political crisis. Faisal Khan — known across India simply as “Khan Sir” — now finds himself at the center of a controversy involving stone-pelting, alleged gunfire, a police FIR, and hundreds of students taking to the streets in his defense.
The Night Everything Changed: June 2, 2026
It began on the night of June 2, when a mob of 15 to 20 unidentified individuals descended on Khan Global Studies (KGS), Khan Sir’s coaching institute located in the Kadamkuan area of Patna. The attackers vandalized the premises, tore down promotional banners and posters, damaged office property, and pelted the building with stones. A security guard posted at the entrance was assaulted and injured during the chaos.
The attack was brazen, targeted, and calculated — and it was only the beginning.
The Firing That Changed Everything
As tensions escalated during the attack, a video began circulating on social media that would throw the entire case into a new direction. The footage appeared to show two of Khan Sir’s private security guards discharging weapons into the air outside the institute. The guards — identified as Pradeep Kumar (38) and Talebar Singh (34) — later claimed during police questioning that they had fired in self-defense to protect the institute, its staff, and bystanders from the advancing mob.
However, rival coaching centre representatives disputed this version of events. At a press conference, a representative from Gyan Bindu Coaching Centre displayed the video and questioned why shots were allegedly fired when police investigators had reportedly found no immediate evidence of firing at the scene earlier.
The authenticity and context of the video remains under forensic investigation.
Police Action: Arrests, Weapons, and a Shocking FIR
Patna police moved swiftly. The two bodyguards were detained, their weapons seized for forensic testing, and they were placed in judicial custody. Acting on the original vandalism complaint filed by KGS, police also arrested three individuals connected to the attack — including Roshan Anand, the director of rival coaching institute Gyan Bindu, popularly known as “Roshan Sir.” He and the others were produced before a local court and remanded to judicial custody on charges of criminal conspiracy and rioting.
But the biggest shock came next.
Following statements made by the detained guards during interrogation — in which they allegedly claimed Khan Sir had instructed them to open fire — the Patna Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Khan Sir himself. The FIR was filed under Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to abetment, and under the Arms Act. Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Kartikeya Sharma confirmed that Khan Sir had been named in the FIR and would be called in for questioning.
Khan Sir was subsequently questioned by police as part of the ongoing probe.
Coaching Wars: The Rivalry Behind the Attack
Khan Sir has been vocal about who he believes is responsible. He publicly alleged that individuals linked to rival coaching institutes — specifically pointing toward Gyan Bindu — orchestrated the June 2 attack out of professional jealousy. According to him, the motive was straightforward: KGS has helped thousands of students clear competitive government exams at fees far lower than many competing institutes, and that success has made enemies.
Roshan Anand, however, flatly denied the allegations and accused Khan Sir of attempting to falsely implicate him in the case.
The dispute has exposed what many students and observers describe as a deeply toxic “coaching mafia” culture in Patna — where fierce competition for students and revenue has, in some cases, crossed into criminal territory.
Students Rise in Protest
Despite the FIR, Khan Sir’s students have not wavered in their support. Hundreds gathered at the KGS campus to protest what they called unfair police action against their teacher. Students raised slogans and demanded that the administration focus its investigation on the original attackers rather than on Khan Sir.
For many, Khan Sir is more than a teacher. His YouTube channel and affordable offline batches have been a lifeline for aspirants from Bihar’s working-class and rural backgrounds — students who could never afford the premium coaching institutes that dominate the market.
Bihar Government Responds
The incident has forced the Bihar government’s hand. Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari publicly acknowledged the gravity of the situation and announced that the state would formulate a dedicated policy to regulate and curb the aggressive, often dangerous, rivalries playing out among Patna’s coaching institutes.
The investigation into both the vandalism and the firing allegations remains active and ongoing.
Here is the full, clear answer to both your questions — based on the latest news as of today, June 6, 2026:
Why is Khan Sir underground (not surrendering)?
Khan Sir’s lawyer Arvind Kumar Mahuar made it clear that Khan Sir will not surrender before the Patna Civil Court. Instead, his legal team will pursue anticipatory bail — a legal protection that, if granted, prevents police from arresting a person before any formal arrest is made. India TV News
The lawyer said the anticipatory bail petition is likely to be filed on Monday. He also alleged that there are no actual charges against his client, claiming: “Based on videos and photos of the incident, it is clear that the guards fired shots in the air for safety purposes. There was no injury to anyone. His name has been inserted in the disclosure statement to implicate him.” Free Press Journal
The lawyer further alleged that the FIR was registered against Khan Sir “as part of a conspiracy to defame him” — and that his name was added as a retaliatory measure because his staff had filed the original complaint against the rival institute’s director.
So Khan Sir is not technically “underground” — he is deliberately avoiding surrender while seeking anticipatory bail from court, which is a legal strategy available to accused persons in India.
Why does police want to arrest Khan Sir?
Police have three specific reasons:
1. Arms Act violation An FIR was registered against Khan Sir under provisions related to the Arms Act and attempt to murder. According to the complaint, security guards allegedly opened fire on Khan Sir’s instructions.
2. Section 109 BNS (Abetment) An FIR was registered under Section 109 of the BNS and Sections 25(9), 27, and 35 of the Arms Act against three named individuals including Khan Sir, after two guards associated with his institute were arrested based on a video from the June 2 incident showing two people allegedly firing. India TV News
3. Police are actively searching for him Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Kartikeya Sharma confirmed that Khan Sir had been named in the FIR. “Since his name figures in the FIR, the police will question him,” the SSP said. Multiple police teams have reportedly been conducting raids, while a heavy police presence has been deployed outside his coaching institute in the city.
Current status (June 6, 2026 — today)
Reports initially suggested Khan Sir had surrendered at Patna Civil Court — however, there was no official confirmation from authorities, and updates remain conflicting. The Civil Court in Patna has been closed, and there is no expectation of a surrender today. Khan Sir has not surrendered yet. Security personnel are deployed at every corner of the court premises.
Khan Sir is avoiding arrest by using the legal route of anticipatory bail. His lawyers say the FIR is politically motivated and retaliatory. Police say he ordered his guards to fire and must be questioned. The next critical day is Monday, when his lawyer will file the anticipatory bail petition in Patna Civil Court.
What Happens Next?
With forensic tests on the seized weapons still pending and multiple parties offering competing versions of events, the full truth of what happened on the night of June 2 is yet to emerge. What is clear, however, is that this controversy has ignited a far larger conversation about education access, institutional power, and the future of Bihar’s coaching economy.
For now, hundreds of students wait — and hope — that the teacher who changed their lives will emerge from this storm with his reputation intact.
