Actor Imran Khan To Challenge 'Leave India' Order In Bombay High Court

Imran Khan, the Bollywood actor and nephew of Aamir Khan, is set to leave India by October 28, following his detention during a protest in Mumbai, according to Indian media reports. The detention took place after Khan attended a demonstration at August Kranti Maidan, where he participated in demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Despite not being an Indian citizen, Khan was issued a formal Leave India Notice (LIN) as a result of his involvement in the protest.

Before his arrest, Khan claimed he had joined the gathering as an individual residing in the city, rather than representing any organization. In his statement, he questioned the restriction of freedom of movement and the suppression of people's voices. Following his detainment, videos and photographs of the incident circulated online.

The protest occurred amid allegations that an electoral roll revision could potentially exclude eligible voters from participating in elections. However, the Election Commission has dismissed these claims, asserting that the revision is meant to remove duplicate and ineligible entries from the voter list.
