It’s the height of the season for competitive exams, so with Khan Global Studies out of commission in Patna, classes have been put on hold and left the would-be candidates in limbo. Then on Wednesday, Faisal Khan – or Khan Sir as his YouTube followers know him – went before the Patna High Court to have an FIR thrown out and to get the green light to reopen the institute in the wake of a tussle at its gate on June 2.
High Court directions and what they mean
If you look at the court papers, you’ll see Khan put in for a Criminal Writ Jurisdiction Case on June 9. It was brought up on June 10, 2026 in front of Justice Chandra Shekhar Jha, who gave notice, asked the Bihar government to file a counter-affidavit in a month’s time and put aside a week for any rejoinder.
So the court has set 13th July to be re-notified and said to keep things as they are for now. That means the status quo holds for the students: no classes yet, while we wait for a proper hearing on the FIR and the bid to get the doors open.
How the dispute escalated outside KGS
You have to go back to a night on June 2 in the Musallahpur Haat area of Patna. A party of 15 or 20 people are said to have made a mess of the KGS property, threw stones and put a security guard in the hospital. After that, KGS manager Kanhaiya Kumar Singh put in a complaint.
The police put together a case with the names of Raushan Anand, who runs Gyan Bindu Coaching Institute, as well as Prince, Abhishek, Gaurav and some others they couldn’t ID. They ended up taking Anand, Abhishek and Gaurav in. Anand’s application for regular bail was turned down by a local court on June 9.
Video-led probe and the second FIR
Some video evidence came to light during the investigation of two KGS guards opening fire from outside the building once the trouble started. The ones in custody, first called Pradeep and Talebar but later in a filing as Deepak and Talebar, were hauled in by the police.
They had their guns taken and sent off for forensics. An officer from the Kadamkuan station says the guards put it on Khan. So on June 4, another FIR was put in under section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act for an attempt to murder.
This one has Khan and the two guards in it, along with a few un-named, under various sections of the Arms Act. His lawyers say the whole thing is built on what the guards have to say and is nothing more than payback.
Parallel court moves and immediate next steps
While he was making a case for anticipatory bail, a Patna court on June 9 gave Khan some cover from being arrested and set June 20 for the next round. They also want the police to turn over a fresh case diary and any history he might have.
Khan has made it clear to the High Court that KGS has been a no-go zone since the incident and he wants to be allowed to teach. Some of his students even took to the streets in Patna on June 3, 2026, to show how worried they are about their prep and where they’re supposed to be studying.
Here are the dates the courts have put in stone for the time being:
– State has four weeks to file its side of the story
– One week after that for the petitioner to respond
– June 20 for the anticipatory bail
– 13th July for the High Court to re-notify
What it means for students and coaching centres
According to those on the inside, this is all part of a hard-fought rivalry between institutes, especially in the wake of some claims about who did well in the last Bihar Police constable exam. When a big name like KGS is put out of action, it has a way of spilling over, and aspirants are left to find somewhere else to do their mock tests and get their questions answered.
Mithilesh Tiwari, the Education Minister, has put out word that the State will have a new policy in three months to put a stop to this kind of in-fighting and keep the peace. For the students, having a campus you can count on is just as important as whatever the law says.
Why this matters now
The High Court is keeping the lid on for now but is moving to get to the bottom of the FIR and the reopening request. With a few criminal cases on the table and different stories being told about the shooting, the courts will have to make the call on when KGS can be in session again.
In the meantime, the ones with an exam to focus on have to make do with the unknowns, and the rest of the coaching world in Patna is rethinking their own rules. We’ll see what happens on June 20, and then the State has its window to speak up before the 13th of July.
