Imran Khan was detained by Mumbai police on October 10, 2026, during a protest linked to the Cockroach Janta Party. The actor, who holds US citizenship, was seen smiling as he was taken into custody — captured in footage that quickly went viral. No official statement has been released since, but sources confirm he remains in police custody. The incident has triggered a political firestorm. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya has demanded his deportation, citing Imran’s foreign nationality and questioning whether non-citizens should be allowed to participate in public demonstrations. Somaiya called for the Mumbai Police to verify Imran’s citizenship status before any further action. Social media exploded with reactions: some echoed Somaiya’s stance, accusing Imran of re-entering the public eye for questionable motives. Others dismissed the backlash as irrelevant, arguing that his film career, still active in Hindi cinema. Shouldn’t hinge on his passport. There’s no confirmation yet on whether authorities will act on Somaiya’s demand. What happens next depends on legal proceedings, not public opinion. And right now, the silence from Imran speaks louder than any statement.
