Patna: The Patna Civil Court on Tuesday granted interim relief to educator Khan Sir by pausing his arrest in connection with a case registered under the Arms Act.

The relief was granted during a hearing on Khan’s anticipatory bail plea in the District Judge’s court.

This comes after an FIR was registered at Kadamkuan Police Station under Section 109 and 418/2026 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 25(9), 27, and 35 of the Arms Act against three individuals, including Khan Sir.

On June 2, shots were reportedly fired outside the institute, leaving a security guard injured. The FIR stems from a video showing two guards allegedly firing, who were subsequently arrested.

Upon verification of the video footage, the police identified and detained two guards associated with the institute. Based on the investigation into the sequence of events and the recovery of the weapons, the police named Khan Sir and two others in the FIR under the abetment and Arms Act sections.
The police confirmed that the weapons used in the incident have been seized and forwarded to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for examination.

During earlier hearings, the court directed the police to submit the case diary along with the evidence gathered in the investigation.

Arguments on Khan’s anticipatory bail plea were presented before the District Judge, with his counsel seeking protection from arrest while the probe remains ongoing.
