The Bombay High Court on October 27 put on hold the Foreigners Regional Registration Office’s (FRRO) ‘Leave India Notice’ issued to actor Imran Khan until Monday, November 2. The court also adjourned the hearing on his petition challenging the notice. The development follows a hearing deferred a day earlier after Khan sought additional time, with the Centre raising no objection. The notice was issued days after the actor participated in a Mumbai protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. During proceedings, senior advocate Venkatesh Dhond, representing Khan, opposed an intervention application that questioned whether a civil writ petition challenging the FRRO’s action could be heard on the criminal side.

The Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) in Kolkata defended its decision to rusticate six students for a year, saying disciplinary proceedings concerned alleged misconduct, including vandalism, defacement and physical assault, rather than participation in protests. The response followed veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah’s public expression of solidarity with the students. Shah accused the BJP of targeting political dissenters and intimidating young filmmakers after its West Bengal election victory. The institute maintained that it upheld peaceful protest while enforcing disciplinary rules. The dispute has disrupted academic activities, with classes suspended since September 28 and students demanding Vice-Chancellor Santosh Ajmera’s resignation. BJP spokesperson Rahul Sinha called for an investigation into Shah’s remarks.

Kapadia also raised concerns about student safety and the alleged lack of action against those accused of attacking students.

New CCTV footage has emerged in the investigation into the October 18 firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The footage reportedly shows three suspects leaving an Andheri hotel, with one carrying a blue bag suspected to contain a pistol. Two others allegedly departed on a yellow motorcycle shortly afterwards. The firing injured Shroff’s driver and another person, while the actor escaped unharmed. Mumbai Police are examining the footage to reconstruct the suspects’ movements and trace the weapons. Three key accused have been remanded to police custody until October 31.

Mumbai Police investigating the October 18 firing outside actor Tiger Shroff’s Juhu residence have found that the two alleged shooters also conducted reconnaissance at the homes of Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, according to Hindustan Times. The 18-year-old suspects, Phool Singh and Rehan Ansari, reportedly spent a month in Mumbai before the attack and were allegedly recruited by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Investigators believe Shroff was selected because he lacked security cover. Three additional arrests in Sonipat brought the total to ten. Police are probing alleged weapons supplies, logistics and accomplice networks, while firearms and the accused’s mobile phones remain unrecovered. The suspects remain in police custody until October 31. (PC: HT)

Three suspects were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan, and police are investigating the alleged conspiracy. Security outside Khan’s residence has also been strengthened following the incident. (PC: PTI)
