Indian court allows actor Imran Khan to stay until Nov 2
MUMBAI: An Indian court has allowed Bollywood actor Imran Khan to remain in the country until at least Nov 2, local media reported on Tuesday, suspending a government order requiring him to leave for allegedly breaching immigration laws by participating in a protest.
An Indian court has granted Bollywood actor Imran Khan a reprieve, permitting him to remain in the country until at least November 2nd. The suspension of the government's previous order, which demanded his immediate departure due to alleged immigration law violations, follows Khan's appeal in the Bombay High Court. The actor, a 43-year-old US citizen and nephew of Aamir Khan, was accused of participating in protests against the country's election chief in Mumbai.
However, Khan's legal team argues that there is no evidence that he engaged in the protest or incited a crowd, leading them to claim that the order against him was unconstitutional and arbitrary. Khan, who retired from acting in 2015, participated in a protest along with his partner, Lekha Washington, and his mother, seemingly seeking information about a detained friend.
The Mumbai police chief has yet to comment on the actor's case, as there has been no official statement from the authorities regarding the suspension of the order.
