Meanwhile, According to the information provided, action has been initiated against Imran under Sections 29 and 7 of the Immigration Act over allegations that he participated in the protest despite not being an Indian citizen.
Notably, Following his detention, the star shared a picture of himself apparently seated inside a police van, accompanied by the caption, “Apparently I’m going for a drive.”In conversation with the media, Khan shared he had come to the location as a citizen of Mumbai and was not present with any specific demands.
As per the latest buzz, He questioned the restrictions on freedom of movement and the suppression of people's voices.
In further updates, CJP activist Abhijit Dipke has also reacted. Backing Imran, Dipke on X wrote, "Mary Millben, an American, can speak in favour of the BJP. But Imran, an OCI cardholder, can’t say anything against the BJP ."
On top of that, Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya had demanded the immediate arrest and deportation of star Imran Khan over his participation in a protest in Mumbai, alleging violations of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) provisions and visa conditions.
Somaiya shared he had submitted evidence to the police regarding the star's speeches during the demonstration and his earlier remarks. He also called for immediate police action, alleging that Khan had misused his OCI status by participating in what he described as an illegal political agitation.
