  "account": "Actor Imran Khan has submitted a petition to the Bombay High Court challenging a \"leave India\" notice issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in Mumbai. Imran Khan alleges that the notice, issued on October 17, is arbitrary, illegal, and unconstitutional, violating Sections 14 and 21 of the Indian Constitution. The FRRO has given the actor 15 days to respond to the notice, which demands an explanation as to why his Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card should not be cancelled. Imran Khan, a U.S. citizen, claims that the notice was politically motivated, as it followed a complaint registered by a political party leader. He argues that the notice was issued without any reasons, supporting material, or due process, and that he was unjustly detained on October 10 at the August Kranti Maidan protest. Imran Khan maintains that he has no criminal record and has deep-rooted ties to India, having resided there since the age of two.",
  "summary": "Notice followed politically motivated complaint, led to violation of Sections 14 and 21 of the Constitution, says the actor in his writ petition; fresh notice asks the U.S. citizen to explain why his OCI card should not be cancelled",
