Imran Khan has received a second notice from the Foreigners Regional Registration Office asking him to show cause why his Overseas Citizen of India status should not be cancelled.
The notice, reported by The Times of India, concerns Khan’s reported presence at a protest held at August Kranti Maidan in Delhi. The gathering was organised in support of the CJP’s anti-CEC stir, according to the report.
Notice cites alleged unlawful assembly case
The FRRO notice states that police permission had not been granted for the protest. It also refers to a case registered against Khan and other protesters for unlawful assembly.
By seeking an explanation before taking further action, the notice puts Khan’s OCI status under review. The latest communication is described as the second notice he has received in connection with the matter.
No cancellation outcome reported
The available report does not state that Khan’s OCI status has already been cancelled. Instead, the notice gives him an opportunity to explain why the status should be retained.
The case links his immigration status to the legal proceedings arising from the Delhi protest. Any further development will depend on the response to the FRRO’s show-cause notice and the authorities’ subsequent decision.
