After Imran Khan’s Court Apology, Mumbai Police Seek Cousin Zayn Marie Khan’s OCI Details From FRRO

Mumbai Police have asked the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to verify the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status of actor Zayn Marie Khan, two days after her cousin, actor Imran Khan, apologised in the Bombay High Court for joining the same protest and gave an undertaking not to take part in any more.

The police move follows the Mumbai protest on October 10, when both actors were detained at August Kranti Maidan. The demonstration was against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Imran Khan went with his partner Lekha Washington and with his cousin.

OpIndia reported that the protest was organised by Tushar Gandhi’s group Hum Bharat Ke Log, while earlier reports linked it to the Cockroach Janta Party.

According to Mumbai Police, Zayn was born in Mumbai but holds an OCI card as a US citizen. An FIR has been registered against her over her participation in the protest. A police officer said the FRRO would check her status.

The FRRO will check her OCI status,” he said. The reports say police from the force’s South Region wrote to the FRRO, first seeking verification for both actors, and again, two days after the FRRO issued a Leave India notice to Imran Khan on October 14, to inform it that an FIR had been registered against Zayn.
