Imran Khan detained by Mumbai Police during protest at August Kranti Maidan; says, “I am here to see why people’s voices are being suppressed”
- Bollywood actor Imran Khan, nephew of Aamir Khan, was detained by police at 5:20 PM on Saturday while arriving at Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan to join a protest organized under the banner 'Hum Bharat Ke Log' .
- Before the scheduled 3:30 PM demonstration could begin, authorities implemented strict security measures at the venue, deploying heavy police presence, setting up barricades, and closing access roads to prevent protesters from joining the movement supporting Jantar Mantar demonstrations.
- Activist Tushar Gandhi, set to lead the movement, was detained earlier that morning; actor Zayn Khan, Imran Khan's cousin, was also taken into custody, while Delhi Police reported approximately 3,000 arrests in Connaught Place as protesters attempted to march toward Jantar Mantar.
- Shortly after detention, Imran Khan posted on Instagram from the police van writing 'Apparently Im going for a drive,' while authorities continued detaining arriving protesters despite notifying them the demonstration lacked permission.
- Activist Wangchuk characterized the nationwide detention of over 3,000 people as an 'undeclared emergency in India,' highlighting concerns about civil liberties as coordinated crackdowns occurred across Mumbai and Delhi.
