Comedian-turned-actor Kapil Sharma’s new venture in the hospitality industry suffered a major shock when his café, Kap’s Café, in Surrey, British Columbia, was targeted in a shooting incident on Thursday 10 July. According to local reports, at least nine shots were fired at the establishment late evening. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
The attack has been linked to Khalistani terrorist Harjit Singh Laddi, who has openly claimed responsibility. Laddi, wanted in India for a string of terror-related offences, is accused of masterminding several attacks on Hindu leaders and pro-India figures. Along with his associate Kulbeer Singh alias Sidhu, he is under investigation for financing terror activities and recruiting operatives for targeted killings. Notably, the duo is also suspected of planning and supplying weapons for the April 2024 assassination of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Prabhakar in Punjab.
