Actors Imran Khan and Lekha Washington, along with Zayn Khan, were released Saturday after Mumbai Police detained them during a protest near August Kranti Maidan, The Indian Express reported.
They had joined demonstrations organized in support of the Cockroach Janata Party’s protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The newspaper reported that more than 400 protesters were detained across Mumbai as police sought to prevent unauthorized gatherings.
Videos posted online showed police placing Khan, Washington and Zayn in a van. Zayn later said in social media posts that officials did not explain why they had been detained. Khan told another protester that the group was driven around for at least two hours before being taken to Yellow Gate police station. Washington subsequently posted a video confirming that they had returned home safely.
One video from the police van showed Zayn joking with Khan about his 2008 film “Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na,” in which his character must ride a horse, go to jail and beat someone up. Khan said he had ridden a horse but had never assaulted anyone. In another recording, he said “Jai Hind” while leaving a group of police officers.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Two details should be aligned more closely with the cited reports before publication. - "Khan’s cousin Zayn Marie": The sources identify Khan's cousin as Zayn Marie in one report and Zayn Khan in another; the story uses one name in a context where the source it cites says Zayn Khan. - "They had joined demonstrations organized in support of the Cockroach Janata Party’s demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.": The sources say the demonstrations were organized in support of the Cockroach Janata Party’s protest against the Chief Election Commissioner, not necessarily that the party itself organized them.
