Pakistani actor Imran Khan has been directed to leave India within days after Mumbai Police issued a formal 'Leave India Notice' against him on Thursday, according to officials. The notice, issued under relevant clauses of the Immigration Act, requires Khan to depart by October 28.
The directive follows Khan's involvement in a protest held in Mumbai. Police cited his non-Indian citizenship as grounds for the action, applying immigration regulations that govern the stay of foreign nationals in the country.
Imran Khan, known for his work in Hindi cinema, has maintained a presence in the Indian film industry over several years. The notice marks an escalation in response to his recent protest participation, though specific details regarding the nature of the demonstration were not immediately disclosed.
The development raises questions about the treatment of foreign nationals engaged in public demonstrations in India, as immigration law is being applied in conjunction with protest-related activity.
