Faisal Khan, widely known as ‘Khan Sir’, the popular Bihar-based educator and YouTuber, surrendered before the Patna Civil Court today in connection with the firing incident at his Khan Global Studies (KGS) institute. An FIR had been registered against him on June 5 under charges of attempted murder and provisions of the Arms Act following a violent clash on June 2.
Khan reached the court amid heavy security as police had intensified their search for him after he went missing from his institute on Friday. The development marks a dramatic turn in a case that has highlighted the intensifying rivalry among coaching centres in Patna.

Faisal Khan’s Khan Global Studies institute in Musallahpur Hat, Patna, has gained massive popularity for its low-fee model and strong results in competitive exams, including the recent Bihar Police Constable recruitment. This success has reportedly created tensions with rival coaching institutes, often described locally as “coaching mafia” rivalries driven by competition for students.
On the night of June 2, 2026, around 20 unidentified persons allegedly linked to a rival institute named Gyan Bindu Coaching run by Roshan Anand attacked KGS. They pelted stones, vandalised the premises, and brutally assaulted a security guard, who was injured and hospitalised. Khan had initially alleged the attack was orchestrated by jealous rivals who had earlier issued threats. He submitted CCTV footage to police, leading to the arrest of Roshan Anand and two associates. Police treated the initial complaint as a case of physical assault and vandalism.
During the chaos following the attack, two private security guards employed by Khan, identified as Pradeep and Taleshwar, opened fire. A viral video circulating on social media showed the guards firing shots into the air outside the institute. No one was injured in the firing, but the incident escalated the case. Police verified the video, arrested the guards on June 4, and seized their Nagaland-licensed weapons, which were sent for forensic examination.
In a major twist, the arrested guards confessed during interrogation that they had fired on direct orders from Faisal Khan. According to police sources, the guards stated that Khan told them, “Dekh kya rahe ho, turant fire karo, main samajh loonga” (What are you looking at? Fire immediately, I will handle it). They allegedly fired two rounds each into the air and were assured by Khan that he would manage the consequences.
Based on these statements, CCTV evidence, and the video, Patna Police registered an FIR at Kadamkuan Police Station on June 5 against Khan Sir and two others. He was booked under relevant sections for abetment to attempted murder (Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) and violations of the Arms Act. The District Investigation Unit (DIU) was tasked with tracking him down.
Khan had earlier released a video statement claiming the firing was in self-defence against the attacking mob and denied any wrongdoing. However, police found no evidence of firing by the attackers, shifting focus to the guards’ actions.
Following the FIR, Khan reportedly went missing from his institute on Friday afternoon, prompting a police hunt. Speculation grew that he might surrender in court to avoid arrest. Today, he presented himself at Patna Civil Court.
