Key Questions Answered
Mumbai Police issued a notice to actor Imran Khan directing him to leave India by October 28 after he participated in an unauthorized political protest in Mumbai demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Because he holds US citizenship and is not an Indian citizen, his participation violated conditions under the Immigration Act and his Overseas Citizen of India status.
Imran Khan has wrapped up shooting for 'Adhure Hum Adhure Tum', a romantic comedy that marks his first leading film role in 10 years since his 2015 movie 'Katti Batti'. Directed for Netflix and co-starring young actor Gurfateh Pirzada, the movie is currently in post-production and is scheduled for release by the end of 2026.
Imran Khan was detained alongside over 400 people on October 10, 2026, at August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai during a demonstration supporting the Cockroach Janta Party to demand the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. Following the unauthorized gathering, the Gamdevi Police Station registered an FIR against him and others under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, prompting further calls from political leaders for immigration action.
