This development follows the filing of an FIR against Zayn Khan, a US citizen, for her involvement in the October 10 protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Mumbai.
Organized by Tushar Gandhi's "Hum Bharat Ke Log" organization, both actors were subsequently detained at the protest site.
In response to the detention, the Mumbai Police's South Region forwarded a request to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to verify the OCI status of both Imran and Zayn Khan. A police officer explained that the regional office wrote to the FRRO, citing the FIR against Zayn Khan and the need to check her OCI status.
The FRRO subsequently examined the OCI status of both actors, with the Bombay High Court later ordering Imran Khan to provide an unconditional apology on November 2, stating that OCI cardholders do not possess the right to protest.
According to the Mumbai Police, Zayn Marie Khan was born in Mumbai but holds an OCI card. However, her lawyer stated that she has not yet been served the FRRO notice.
