Bollywood actor Imran Khan has been ordered to leave India by October 28 after Mumbai police and the country’s Foreigners Regional Registration Office issued him a notice, citing that he is not an Indian citizen. The action follows Khan’s participation in a protest at August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai on October 10, where demonstrators opposed Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and police detained the actor. Authorities say the gathering was held without permission and that immigration-related legal action has been initiated against him.
Notice follows October 10 protest
Khan’s participation in the demonstration brought him to the attention of Mumbai police and the Foreigners Regional Registration Office, known as the FRRO. The notice directs him to leave India by October 28. The authorities’ stated basis for the action is his non-Indian citizenship, with the protest and its alleged lack of permission forming the immediate context for the case.
Police detained Khan during the protest at August Kranti Maidan. The demonstration was directed against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Authorities have said it took place without permission, and the matter has since led to immigration-related proceedings. The reported action therefore involves both the circumstances of Khan’s participation in the gathering and his status as a foreign national in India.
Authorities cite citizenship and permission
The notice was issued by Mumbai police and the FRRO, and sets October 28 as the deadline for Khan to leave the country. The reported information does not identify a specific immigration law or describe the precise legal steps initiated. It does, however, make clear that authorities are treating his citizenship status as central to the order, while also citing the protest’s lack of permission.
The police detention took place on October 10, the date of the protest. The departure deadline comes after that event and gives Khan a defined period to leave India. The available details do not state when the notice was formally served, whether Khan has challenged it, or what response he may have made. No further information about the outcome of the immigration proceedings has been reported in the supplied account.
What is known about the case
The reported sequence is that Khan attended the protest at August Kranti Maidan, was detained by police, and was subsequently issued a notice requiring him to leave India by October 28. Authorities have said the demonstration lacked permission and confirmed that immigration-related legal action has been initiated. The order has not been described as a final outcome of those proceedings, and the information available does not set out what further action may follow.
The case places the actor’s presence at the protest alongside the authorities’ position on his non-Indian citizenship. Beyond those points, details remain limited: the reported account does not specify Khan’s nationality, explain the legal basis in greater detail, or provide a statement from him. It also does not say whether he intends to comply with the deadline or contest the notice.
For now, the central development is the October 28 departure deadline issued by Mumbai police and the FRRO. The notice follows Khan’s detention at the October 10 demonstration against Gyanesh Kumar, which authorities say was held without permission. Any further development will depend on the immigration-related action initiated by the authorities and on whether Khan responds to the order.
