‘Conspiracy To Defame’: Khan Sir To Seek Anticipatory Bail After FIR In Vandalism Case, Says Lawyer Published By, Last Updated: June 07, 2026, 12:50 IST According to the lawyer, the anticipatory bail plea is expected to be filed on Monday. Rapid Read The video appears to show firing taking place outside Khan Sir's coaching centre, reigniting debate over what transpired during the incident. A lawyer representing educator Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, has said that his client will move an anticipatory bail application before a Patna civil court after being named in an FIR linked to vandalism at his coaching institute. Advocate Arvind Kumar Mahuar claimed the case against Khan Sir was lodged as “part of a conspiracy to defame him".

The development comes after Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Kartikeya Sharma said on Friday that the educator and YouTuber had been named in an FIR related to the vandalism at Khan Global Studies Institute. The case stems from an incident on Tuesday night when a group of 15 to 20 people allegedly removed posters of the coaching centre and pelted stones at the premises. Police subsequently detained two security guards of the institute for allegedly firing shots during the incident. “Khan Sir has been named in the FIR as part of a retaliatory measure because his staff had registered a case against another coaching centre’s director. He will not surrender and file an anticipatory bail petition before the court," Mahuar said.

According to the lawyer, the anticipatory bail plea is expected to be filed on Monday. He further maintained that there was no substantive case against his client. “Based on videos and photos of the incident, it is clear that the guards fired shots in the air for safety purposes. There was no injury to anyone. His name has been inserted in the disclosure statement to implicate him," the lawyer said. Mahuar reiterated that Khan Sir is likely to approach the court for anticipatory bail on Monday after judicial proceedings resume following the weekend.
