US citizen actor Imran Khan ordered to leave India by 28 October
Mumbai Police have issued a notice to actor Imran Khan, a US citizen, ordering him to leave India by 28 October. The notice was sent by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office Mumbai under Sections 7 and 29 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, after Khan participated in a protest on 10 October at August Kranti Maidan demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police detained him at the time. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya had complained against Khan over his citizenship.
Khan, nephew of actor Aamir Khan, debuted in the 2008 film 'Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na' but left Bollywood in 2015. He is set to return with the film 'Adhoore Hum Adhoore Tum' on 18 December 2026. It remains open how the departure deadline affects that release.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three reports from Prabhat Khabar and TV9 Hindi are straight news agency-style dispatches that stick to the police notification facts. They uniformly state that Imran Khan, a US citizen, was ordered to leave India by 28 October under the Immigration and Foreigners Act after participating in a 10 October protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The coverage is identical in lead fact, quoted legal provisions (Section 7 and 29), and mention of the complaint by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. The only variation is framing: Prabhat Khabar leads with the general notification and adds Somaiya's role late, while TV9 Hindi's 10:58 AM piece emphasises Khan's Bollywood comeback film release on 18 December 2026 and speculates on its impact. This open question of how the departure deadline conflicts with Khan's film promotions is the concrete next step to watch.
