Actor Imran Khan, an American citizen and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholder, will challenge the Foreigners Regional Registration Office’s (FRRO) order directing him to leave India by October 28 in the Bombay High Court. Lawyer Zulfiqar Memon will file the petition. Khan was detained after participating in a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest in Mumbai demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya subsequently complained to police, alleging Khan had violated rules by joining the protest despite being an American citizen. The FRRO issued a notice under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, asserting that OCI status does not permit foreigners to participate in protests. Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi opposed the move.

Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has criticised people praising actor Nana Patekar after his death. “Those who are constantly singing praises of Nana Patekar need to acknowledge he had molested and it was NOT a one-time behaviour,” she wrote on X. Chinmayi backed singer Sona Mohapatra, who shared a comment from an assistant director claiming to have witnessed alleged sexual misconduct on film sets. Actor Tanushree Dutta had accused Nana of sexual harassment during the 2009 film 'Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss'. Nana denied the allegations. The case was closed in 2019 due to a lack of sufficient evidence. Criminal proceedings were dismissed in 2025.
