Patna-based educator and YouTuber Faisal Khan, popularly known as “Khan Sir”, was booked by the police on Friday (June 5, 2026) and questioned over a firing episode in the Bihar capital earlier this week.On the night of June 2, around 20 people vandalised his coaching institute, Khan Global Studies (KGS), and brutally attacked a security guard. Following the incident, Mr. Khan’s two bodyguards fired in the air allegedly on the instructions of “Khan sir”. The bodyguards were arrested and Mr. Khan was named in an FIR registered in this connection.Earlier, three persons, including the owner and teacher of a rival coaching institute, were arrested over the attack on Mr. Khan’s centre. Members of the rival institute, Gyan Bindu coaching centre, however, blamed Mr. Khan for orchestrating the attack.The two bodyguards had been caught in a video firing in the air on the night of the attack on Mr. Khan’s coaching institute at Musallahpur Hat area of Patna. The police, later, arrested the bodyguards, seized their weapon, and sent them to jail. “Yes, educator Khan Sir has been named in the FIR lodged at the Kadamkuan Police station in Patna and he will be questioned in the case by the police,” Patna Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kartikeya Sharma told presspersons on Friday. The SSP, though, did not reveal the charges against Mr. Khan. However, police sources told The Hindu that “trouble seems to be mounting for him in days to come”.After the attack on his coaching institute and the subsequent arrests, Mr. Khan had praised the police for acting promptly on the issue and for providing security to his centre. “Some anti-social elements from a nearby coaching institute carried out widespread damage, beat our guard badly and even fired gunshots. Their anger was ‘how can someone teach students at such a low cost and still deliver good results each year’,” Mr. Khan told mediapersons.Political leaders blamed the incident on rivalry between coaching institute owners. “The State government will formulate a policy within the next three months to prevent such rivalry and the resultant law and order problems,” said State Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari.Meanwhile, sources among the coaching institute owners and teacher’s community of the State capital told The Hindu that “days are not good for Khan sir. Trouble has just begun for him…he may also be arrested in the case”. One of them said the issue could boomerang on him.Recently, Mr. Khan had made some cryptic remarks against a news anchor of a national news channel, after she reportedly made offending comments against “do kaudi ke [useless] teachers” on YouTube.
