Actor Imran Khan, nephew of Aamir Khan and a US citizen holding an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, is challenging a notice directing him to leave India by October 28. The Foreigners Regional Registration Office issued the notice after he participated in an October 10 protest at Mumbai’s August Kranti Maidan demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over electoral-roll revision concerns.
