Bollywood actor Imran Khan is facing legal troubles after being served a 'Leave India Notice' by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). Directed to leave the country by October 28, the American citizen and OCI cardholder has chosen to fight the order legally by moving the Bombay High Court.
Why Was the Notice Issued?
According to reports, the notice comes in the wake of Mumbai Police detaining him following a public protest. Although he was released shortly after, the FRRO issued the departure order citing alleged violations of immigration and foreigners' regulations.

Legal Defense and OCI Status
Imran Khan's legal team has termed the notice arbitrary and unlawful, arguing that it fails to specify clear grounds for the alleged violations. They emphasize his OCI status and maintain that proper legal procedures and hearings should have been conducted before issuing such a drastic directive.
