Actor Imran Khan detained during Mumbai protest at August Kranti Maidan
Actor Imran Khan was detained by Mumbai Police on Saturday after joining a protest at August Kranti Maidan linked to the Cockroach Janta Party's agitation against the Chief Election Commissioner.
The gathering, tied to the controversy over the special intensive revision of electoral rolls, had been denied police permission — and officers moved in to detain participants including the actor.
It was a rare public political appearance by Imran Khan, and it pulled Bollywood into a voter-roll row that has already seen thousands detained in Delhi and protests in Hyderabad.
