Imran Khan Was Offered ₹15 Lakh To Post Against Government? Here's The Truth Behind Viral Instagram Story Screenshot

Actor and Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan attended a protest in Mumbai on October 10, 2026, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. He was detained by the Mumbai police but was later released. Imran, who holds US citizenship, was sent a notice by Mumbai police on Thursday to leave India by October 28, 2026. On Wednesday, a tweet went viral on X claiming that Imran, on his Instagram story, shared that he was offered Rs. 15 lakh to post against the 'Modi government'.

The alleged post read, "I was offered 15 lakh INR to post against modi government so ofcourse I denied it and said I will go to protest for free." We went to Imran's Instagram profile and checked that he hasn't shared any such story, and even netizens guessed that it is a fake, AI-generated screenshot.
