Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kirit Somaiya has demanded the arrest and deportation of actor Imran Khan for allegedly breaching the conditions of his Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status and visa. According to Somaiya, Khan's participation in a protest at August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai on October 10 violated the terms of his permit.
The protest was organized in solidarity with a demonstration in New Delhi, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Mumbai Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the actor. Somaiya claims he has provided police with evidence, including Khan's speeches from the protest and his previous comments, which he alleges demonstrate an attempt to misuse his OCI status and incite anarchy in India.
Somaiya also accused Khan of lying about his citizenship and ties to Mumbai, suggesting the protest may have been part of a coordinated effort involving other individuals, possibly funded by Pakistan. Khan responded, stating he attended the protest as a resident of Mumbai concerned about restrictions on freedom of movement and the suppression of voices, without affiliating himself with any organization.
