Patna police filed a first information report against educator Faisal Khan, known as Khan Sir, and two others following a firing incident this week [1].

The case highlights the legal risks associated with private security responses to civil unrest and the strict application of the Arms Act in Bihar. The incident occurred at the Khan Global Studies coaching centre after unidentified persons vandalized the facility and pelted stones [1], [2].

Police named three people in the FIR, including Khan Sir [1]. Two security guards were arrested Thursday after video evidence surfaced showing them firing weapons into the air [1], [2]. The guards were detained after the footage of the incident became available to authorities [1].

According to a source, one of the guards said he opened fire on the instructions of the educator [2]. The police are investigating the abetment of the firing and the subsequent vandalism that took place at the site [1], [2].

The investigation focuses on whether the use of firearms was a proportional response to the stone-pelting or a violation of public safety laws. The FIR specifically invokes the Arms Act to address the unauthorized discharge of weapons in a crowded educational area [1].

“Patna police filed a first information report against educator Faisal Khan, known as Khan Sir, and two others.”

This legal action underscores the precarious nature of private security in India's coaching hubs, where high-profile educators often face volatility. By charging the educator with abetment, police are signaling that administrative heads may be held legally responsible for the actions of their security personnel, regardless of whether they personally fired a weapon.
