What Happened
Actor Imran Khan, a US citizen and OCI cardholder, has been directed by Mumbai Police to leave India by October 28 after participating in an October 10 protest at August Kranti Maidan demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. He was among protesters detained during the demonstration.

Police said the action was taken under immigration provisions because Khan participated in the demonstration despite not being an Indian citizen. Separately, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya had complained about his participation and sought action. Khan maintained that he attended in his individual capacity and was not representing any organisation.
