Amid the controversy surrounding the tests conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board for the Non-Technical Popular Categories (RRB NTPC), an FIR has been filed against well-known teacher and YouTuber Khan Sir and others in Patna.
Khan Sir, who provides coaching for competitive examinations, has been accused of inciting violence during a protest in Patna on Monday.
Thousands of railways job aspirants had assembled at the Rajendra Nagar Railway terminal, disrupted train operations for over five hours and allegedly vandalised railway property on Monday.
The FIR has been registered at Patrakaar Nagar police station under several sections of the Indian Penal Code.
Apart from Khan Sir, an FIR has been registered against a few other coaching centres and more than 400 unidentified persons. They have been accused of orchestrating violence and damaging government property at Rajendra Nagar railway terminal and Bhikna Pahadi on Tuesday evening.
The FIR has been registered on the basis of statements given by agitating students who were detained on Monday and Tuesday in Patna. They purportedly said they were motivated to indulge in violence after a video, in which Khan Sir allegedly instigated students to agitate on the streets if the RRB NTPC exams were not cancelled, went viral on social media.
The FIR states that, on the basis of these statements and video clippings accessed by the police, it is evident that "agitating students along with coaching institute owners plotted a conspiracy to carry out large-scale violence in Patna to threaten law and order".
