Bihar Police cleared up confusion on Saturday about the arrest of a popular tutor and YouTuber known as Khan Sir. They explained that he went to a police station on his own to show support for protesters who were arrested during a demonstration at the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) office.
Anu Kumari, a Sub-Divisional Police Officer, warned that action would be taken against the social media account ‘Khan Global Studies’ for spreading false information about Khan Sir’s arrest. She confirmed that he was not arrested.
Khan Sir had joined the protesters after they were pushed back by police using batons in Patna. These students were protesting changes to the rules for the upcoming BPSC exam scheduled for December 13.
Police said Khan Sir left the station after asking officers to drop him off near his car. He had gone to show his support to students injured during the protest. The protests were against how the BPSC planned to conduct the exam, which students said was unfair.
Despite the protests, the BPSC announced that it would not change how the exam will be held and that it would take place on December 13, with around 500,000 candidates expected to participate.
