BPSC Protest News: The Patna Police on Saturday took action against the Khan Global Studies by registering an FIR for allegedly uploading a misleading and provocative post on the social media platform X. According to news agency IANS, the post reportedly demanded the release of Khan Sir, despite the police confirming that he had neither been arrested nor detained during the protest of the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) candidates on Friday.
The Khan Global Studies is an official X handle of the Khan Sir Coaching Institute.
Anu Kumar, the SDPO of the Sachiwalay range, emphasised that the post was false and that it could potentially incite unrest related to the ongoing protests over the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) examination.
"Patna Police SSP Rajeev Mishra had clarified on Friday evening that there was no action against Khan Sir. Despite that, the post was uploaded. It is a baseless post," Anu Kumari said.
The incident has led to concerns over the misinformation, as a misleading post from the Khan Global Study Centre on social media demanded his release despite no such detainment occurring.
Authorities are now investigating the matter to address the spread of false and provocative content online, which could potentially escalate tensions during the protests. This incident highlights the growing concern about the spread of misinformation on social media and its potential to escalate sensitive situations.
By filing the FIR, the authorities aim to curb the dissemination of false information and maintain public order. Investigations will likely focus on holding the individuals responsible for the post accountable, as such actions could disrupt the peace during the already volatile period surrounding the BPSC protests. This clarification from the SDPO refutes rumours about Khan Sir's detention and underscores his cooperative role during the protests.
