Bihar Police on Saturday dismissed social media rumours about the arrest of Patna-based tutor and YouTuber Khan Sir, stating he had come to a police station on his own accord to express solidarity with protesters detained over an illegal demonstration near the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) office.
Anu Kumari, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Sachiwalay-1, warned of initiating action against the social media handle ‘Khan Global Studies’ for spreading misinformation about his arrest.
“Police have initiated the process of taking legal action against social media handle ‘Khan Global Studies’ for spreading misinformation about the arrest of Khan Sir. It’s baseless… He has not been arrested,” she said.
“People associated with the social media handle are demanding the release of Khan Sir through various posts since this morning,” she said.
Patna Police clarified that Khan Sir had come to Gardani Bagh police station after meeting protesters in the locality where they were staging a dharna on Friday evening.
