A Patna District Court has scheduled a hearing for June 25, 2024 [1], regarding a case involving educational coach Khan Sir and his security detail.
The proceedings follow a violent incident at Khan Sir's coaching center that resulted in police intervention and the arrest of security personnel. This case draws significant attention due to the high profile of the educator and the legality of private security arms in the region.
Patna police arrested two bodyguards associated with the coach [2]. During the operation, authorities seized multiple firearms [2]. The arrests occurred after a viral video surfaced showing chaos at the center, which prompted the subsequent legal action [3].
Khan Sir was also interrogated by the Patna police as part of the investigation [2]. The current legal focus centers on the bail applications of the arrested guards, and the charges related to the seized weapons.
"The bail hearing will be on June 25, the court has ordered," a court official said [1].
There are slight variations in reporting regarding the nature of the upcoming date. Some reports state the court has ordered a final decision to be delivered on the 25th [1], while others indicate the date is scheduled for a hearing with a decision still pending [2].
"Police arrested two guards and seized weapons, now the case hearing is set for June 25," a Patna police spokesperson said [2].
Legal representatives for the accused have moved the district court following the dismissal of previous bail attempts [1]. The court will now determine if the bodyguards remain in custody or are granted release pending trial.
“The bail hearing will be on June 25, the court has ordered.”
The case highlights the tension between the need for high-profile figures to maintain security and the strict regulation of firearms in Bihar. If the court denies bail or finds the weapons were illegally possessed, it could set a legal precedent for how private security is managed for public figures in the state.
