Bollywood actor Imran Khan asked to leave India after participating in protest, media says

Former Bollywood actor Imran Khan has been instructed by Indian authorities to depart the country by the end of the month, according to local media reports. Khan, who is a US citizen, allegedly breached immigration laws by participating in a political protest against the election commission chief on October 10. The protest demanded the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar, the Chief Election Commissioner, over voter list revisions that opposition parties claim favor Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party.

Khan reportedly shared a photograph from a police van on the same day, though Reuters was unable to obtain a comment from the actor regarding the matter.
