Patna coaching centre firing case: Police lodge FIR against 'Khan sir', two others, say ‘video showed….’ Patna Police have filed an FIR against noted educator Faisal Khan, widely known as ‘Khan Sir’, along with two others, in connection with a firing and vandalism incident that took place outside his coaching institute on June 2. The action follows an alleged attack earlier this week in which a group of individuals reportedly damaged property at the Khan Global Studies Institute and hurled stones at the premises. Police said two security guards linked to the institute have been arrested after video footage allegedly connected them to the incident. The FIR, registered at Kadamkuan Police Station, includes charges under Section 109 (abetment) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), as well as Sections 25(9), 27, and 35 of the Arms Act. According to a press release issued by the Office of the City Superintendent of Police (Central), Patna, the incident occurred on the night of June 2 at approximately 10:10 PM. A group of individuals reportedly engaged in stone-pelting and vandalism at the Khan Global Studies coaching centre. "Following the incident, Case No. 410/26 was registered, and an investigation was launched. During the course of the probe, a video was recovered which showed two individuals engaging in aerial firing following the act of vandalism," the police statement read.

Students disrupt CJI Surya Kant's London lecture; High Commission condemns act as indecorous Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant's lecture at Birbeck, University of London on June 4 was privy to a tense exchange of words between certain attendees and the organisers over alleged suppression of dissent in India and CJI's recent "cockroach" remarks. The incident occurred during the question-and-answer session following the CJI's address on “Artificial Intelligence and International Law”. During the interactive session, an attendee attempted to question CJI Kant on India’s democratic record and alleged growing hostility toward dissent. In video clips circulating online, the attendee is heard referring to concerns raised by legal observers saying, "We now hear from a number of legal observers within the country as well as internationally that there's a great deal of concern about growing hostility to dissent within India. And it does seem that this hostility is somewhat reflected in His Lordship's speech and it's very well publicised." Another questioned the CJI about his “cockroach” remarks made on May 15 in India. The exchange, however, was cut short by the moderator, who said, “With all due respect, I would not be able to take up that question since the topic is concerning artificial intelligence and international law.” Clips from the event show visible disruption, with some attendees standing and gesturing. In one video, organisers can be heard appealing to the audience, “Please, let’s just calm and put an end to this, can we? Thank you.” The High Commission of India in the United Kingdom on Friday condemned the disruptions.

Abduction, extortion plot against former MLC began with accident last year: Cops

Abduction, extortion plot against former MLC began with accident last year: Cops Abduction, extortion plot against former MLC began with accident last year: Cops Four people arrested in connection with abduction conspiracy targeting former Karnataka MLC after a road accident in December 2025. Four people were arrested in connection with a conspiracy to abduct and extort money from a former Karnataka MLC, with police saying the conspiracy began with a traffic collision involving one of the accused in December last year. The arrests, made in Bengaluru and Kerala on Wednesday night, came after investigators traced an alleged abduction and ransom demand targeting former legislator Dayananda Reddy to a dispute that began after a road accident in December 2025. Police identified the accused as B Praveen, Romeo Martin, NK Ashik and BT Adarsh, all hailing from Kerala and aged between 25 and 35. According to Bengaluru Rural superintendent of police M V Chandra Kanth, the alleged conspiracy began after a collision involving Reddy’s vehicle and a cab driven by Praveen on December 16 last year. Police said the accident itself was relatively minor, but the dispute that followed left lingering resentment. Investigators allege that associates of Reddy took Praveen to a resort and held his vehicle for three days while seeking compensation for damage caused in the collision. Praveen eventually paid ₹1.5 lakh through a cheque and recovered the vehicle.

AP sacks cop accused of rape; manhunt on AP sacks cop accused of rape; manhunt on Andhra Pradesh police inspector dismissed for allegedly raping woman, absconding. The Andhra Pradesh government on Wednesday dismissed police inspector Chinna Mallaiah from service in connection with a case registered against him for allegedly raping a 40-year-old woman in Palnadu district in April, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday. Mallaiah is currently absconding and has not been traced so far, police said. Guntur Range deputy inspector general (DIG) of police Sarvashrestha Tripathi issued orders dismissing Mallaiah from service, hours after the Supreme Court dismissed his petition seeking anticipatory bail in the case. The Vinukonda rural police registered a case against Mallaiah under section 64 (punishment for rape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on April 29, following a complaint given by the victim. According to the complaint, the victim had been staying alone as a tenant at the inspector’s residence. On the night of April 28, the inspector barged into her house and sexually assaulted her by threatening to kill her. “After gathering primary evidence against the inspector, a case was booked on the same day and he was placed under suspension on May 1,” a senior police officer said. Following her complaint, police moved her to a government hospital, where medical examinations were conducted as part of the investigation. “Based on the medical examination report, it was prima facie confirmed that she was subject to sexual assault and a case was booked against the inspector,” the officer said.
