Mumbai Police in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled Indian state of Maharashtra has issued a notice to Hindi film actor Imran Khan, directing him to leave India by October 28.
According to Kashmir Media Service, former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya had sought action against the actor after he participated in an anti-CEC protest at Mumbai’s August Kranti Maidan on October 10. The protesters demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.
