  "account": "Indian authorities have requested Bollywood actor Imran Khan to depart the country by the end of the month, citing his violation of immigration laws following his involvement in a protest against the election commission chief, according to local media on Thursday. The 43-year-old American citizen, son of renowned filmmaker Aamir Khan, was given until October 28 to leave India, as reported by The Times of India.\n\nKhan participated in a rally in Mumbai on October 10, advocating for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, whose decision to modify voter lists was met with criticism from opposition parties, who alleged the changes favored Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party. On the day of the protest, the actor shared an Instagram post featuring himself with a victory sign in the back of a police van, hinting at his impending departure.\n\nA complaint was lodged against Khan at a Mumbai police station, alleging his breach of immigration laws. Subsequently, the Foreigners Regional Registration Office, a federal agency responsible for tracking and monitoring foreign nationals in India, issued a notice demanding his departure. The actor has yet to respond to inquiries from Reuters regarding the matter.",
