Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against actor Imran Khan, his girlfriend Lekha Washington and several others following their detention during a protest at August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai on Saturday, October 10. The protest was held in support of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) demonstration in Delhi, which called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The FIR was registered at Gamdevi police station.

Following his detention, Imran took to Instagram to share a selfie from inside a police van, captioning it, “Apparently I’m going for a drive.”

Lekha also shared updates on social media, saying she did not know where they were being taken after their detention. Following their release, she alleged that the police were not allowing them to return home or arrange a vehicle. She later reassured her followers that they were safe and heading home.

The Mumbai demonstration was held in solidarity with the CJP’s protest in Delhi, where demonstrators were also detained amid a major police operation. The movement has been demanding Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over allegations concerning the revision of electoral rolls.
