What Happened
Bollywood actor Imran Khan was detained by Mumbai Police on October 10 while participating in a protest at August Kranti Maidan. The protest called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Following this, Mumbai Police issued a notice to Khan, an American citizen, instructing him to leave India by October 28.
The action against Khan stems from his foreign citizenship and alleged violation of Indian law prohibiting foreign nationals from participating in internal political protests. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya raised concerns about Khan's involvement, and reports suggest the notice was issued under sections 7 and 29 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act. Khan is reportedly planning to challenge this order in the Bombay High Court.
