Bihar educator and YouTuber Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, was granted anticipatory bail by a Patna court on Monday in an attempted murder case, PTI reported.

The case is linked to violence outside his coaching institute, Khan Global Studies, in Patna on June 2. Days after the incident, Khan claimed that “eight to 10 rounds of gunfire” had been fired outside the institute after a group allegedly vandalised the premises in Musallahpur area. He alleged that business rivals were behind the attack, reported.

Later, Khan was booked after two of his security guards allegedly told the police that he had instructed them to open fire during the violence.

On Monday, the Patna Civil Court also granted anticipatory bail to three staff members of the coaching institute and two security guards, PTI quoted Khan’s lawyer as saying.
