Key Questions Answered

Mumbai police issued a notice directing Imran Khan to leave India because he participated in an anti-CEC political protest at August Kranti Maidan while holding US citizenship and an OCI card, which violated conditions attached to his status under the Immigration Act.

Imran Khan participated in a demonstration at Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

While OCI cardholders enjoy lifelong multiple-entry visas and economic benefits, they do not possess full political rights like Indian citizens, and participating in political protests has brought their status under scrutiny.
