Imran Khan: Bollywood actor asked to leave India after participating in CJP protest in Mumbai

Key FactsIndia orders actor Imran Khan to leave after protest

Oct 15, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: bbc.com

Authorities require his departure by 28 October; the FRRO says his protest breached applicable rules.

Khan is an American citizen holding an OCI card, which permits residence but excludes voting and standing for election.

On 10 October, he was briefly detained at the August Kranti Maidan protest and subsequently released.

The CJP-led movement seeks electoral reforms over alleged vote fraud, which India’s election panel denies.

I don't have demands. I'm here as a citizen, as a person who lives in this city. I'm here to see why freedom of movement is being restricted, why people's voices are being suppressed.
— Imran Khan, speaking to reporters about his participation in the protest

CJP's Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka: India's 'cockroach' leaders jailed after holding protest

Key FactsCJP leaders remanded after alleged Jantar Mantar trespass

Oct 14, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: bbc.com

On Tuesday, Das and Ranka climbed over a locked gate and police barricades to enter the site.

A special magistrate court in Delhi ordered five days of judicial custody; Ajinkya Shinde was released on a personal bond.

Delhi police named three other protest venues after Jantar Mantar was removed from the authorised list.

You cannot denotify the resistance.
