Imran Khan Gets Mumbai Police Notice To Leave India By October 28 Over Protest Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar

Imran Khan has been given 13 days to leave India after being detained at a protest in Mumbai. The Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) has issued a notice, citing a violation of the Foreigners Act. The authorities claim Imran joined the demonstration on October 10 against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar without proper permission.

The notice was filed by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, who alleged that Imran is a US citizen and that his participation in the protest breached the Foreigners Act. Imran, who holds an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, is now facing deportation calls. The protest, part of the Cockroach Janata Party's campaign, resulted in over 400 people being detained.

The FRRO's notice does not explicitly state that Imran's actions constitute an offence, leaving little time for a resolution before the October 28 deadline.
