Imran Khan Ordered to Leave India Following CJP Protest Involvement
Mumbai Actor Imran Khan Faces Deportation Notice
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Imran Khan, who is also the nephew of Aamir Khan, has received a notice to leave India. According to reports, the Mumbai police and the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) have instructed him to exit the country by October 28, 2026. This action is linked to a protest held on October 10 at Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan in support of the CJP (Cockroach People's Party), where demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar were made.
Imran Khan Participated in CJP Protest
During the protest on October 10, Imran Khan attended alongside his partner, Leena Washington, and cousin, Jain Mary Khan. The Mumbai police detained him and several others during the demonstration, although they were later released. Following the incident, the actor shared a photo from inside a police van on social media.
The primary focus of the protest was the demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and concerns regarding the Special Intensive Review (SIR) of the voter list. Protesters raised objections regarding alleged irregularities in the electoral process and the voter list.
FIR Filed Against Imran Khan
In the aftermath of the protest, the Mumbai police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Imran Khan and others. The case pertains to alleged violations of regulations during the protest and disobedience of police orders. The FIR was filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Subsequently, news emerged regarding the notice for him to leave India. Reports indicate that this action relates to his citizenship status and the regulations governing his stay in India. However, being named in an FIR does not automatically imply guilt, and the subsequent legal proceedings will be crucial.
Imran Khan's American Citizenship
According to media reports, Imran Khan is an American citizen residing in India on an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card. Authorities have viewed his participation in the protest in light of regulations applicable to foreign nationals, which is likely the basis for the notice to leave India.
BJP leader Kirit Somaiya has also lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police regarding this matter, demanding an investigation into Imran Khan's citizenship and his involvement in the protest. This has sparked further political and legal discussions surrounding the actor.
Deadline to Leave India Set for October 28
Reports suggest that the notice requires Imran Khan to depart India by October 28, 2026. Following this development, discussions are ongoing regarding the actor's next steps and potential legal options. However, clarity on the exact legal basis for the notice and any possible challenges will depend on official documents and statements from the involved parties.
Imran Khan's Career Overview
Imran Khan gained recognition in Bollywood with his debut film 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na' in 2008. He later appeared in films such as 'I Hate Luv Storys', 'Break Ke Baad', 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan', and 'Delhi Belly'. Despite being away from films for an extended period, he remains a topic of discussion due to his personal life and public activities.
Currently, the situation surrounding the notice to leave India following his participation in the CJP protest is making headlines. The future course of action will depend on decisions made by relevant authorities, the legal basis of the notice, and the steps taken by the actor.
