And I'm moving on. Actor Imran Khan, nephew of Indian actor Amir Khan,
has been served an official notice by the Mumbai police,
directing him to leave India by October 28th.
Now, this directive follows
the actor's participation in a demonstration
that was held at South Mumbai's historic August Kranti Maidan,
where protesters gathered to demand the resignation
of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Khan was taken into custody
by the Mumbai police at the demonstration site.
Law enforcement officials initiated action against
the actor under the relevant provisions of the Immigration Act,
citing that foreign nationals residing in the country are prohibited
from participating in domestic political protests and demonstrations.
Imran Khan holds United States citizenship by birth.
Indian immigration regulations restrict foreign passport holders
and overseas citizens of India
from engaging in political activities, demonstrations
or anti-establishment protests within the territory of India.
Now, authorities confirm that the formal exit notice specifies
an October 28th deadline for Khan's departure from the country.
Representatives for the actor have not yet issued
an official statement regarding the notice
or whether legal challenges will be filed against the directive.
Khan made his debut in Bollywood in 2008.
He was launched by his uncle Aamir Khan in the film Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na.
It remains one of his most well-known performances.
He collaborated with his uncle again for Delhi Belly.
The movie enjoyed huge popularity during the time of its release.
And earlier this year, Khan made his acting comeback
in Happy Patel Khatarnath Chasus.
And for more details on this development, our principal correspondent
Disha Yadav has sent us this report from Mumbai. Take a look.
Mumbai police has issued a notice to actor Imran Khan
to leave India by October 28th this year.
The notice comes days after the actor had participated on October 10th
in a political protest and demonstration that took place.
demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
here in Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan.
In fact, on the very same day,
we all know that he was detained by Mumbai police
and was released several hours later.
But what was quite significant and different in his case is the fact
that a complaint later was registered against the actor Imran Khan
by BJP leader Kiran Somaya, clearly stating that he is a US citizen
and he has an overseas citizen of India
which is an OCI card and he has no rights whatsoever
being an American citizen to participate in any political protest
or demonstration that
is being conducted here in India or any part of the city here in India.
