Kapil Sharma’s Surrey cafe was attacked again on Thursday, with over 25 shots fired.
Gangs linked to Goldy Dhillon and Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility.
A previous July attack was claimed by Khalistani terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi.
Comedian Kapil Sharma’s Canada-based cafe was attacked for the second time since its opening in early July. The Surrey eatery was subject to this new round of gunfire in less than a month since the previous attack.
According to NDTV, two gangs - Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon and Lawrence Bishnoi - claimed ownership over the attack in a social media post.
At least 25 gunshots were heard in the purported video of the attack that surfaced on social media. According to The Times of India, at least six bullet holes and shattered windows of the cafe were visible.
A voice was also heard saying in the video, amid the crack of the gunshots, "We had called the target, but he didn't hear the ring, so we had to take action. If he still doesn't hear the ring, the next action will be taken soon in Mumbai."
The Surrey Police Service (SPS) arrived shortly after reports of gunfire, but has yet to release official details regarding the incident. The residents described being jolted awake by the sound of multiple gunshots.
Although the Surrey Police Service (SPS) responded quickly to firing reports, they have not yet made public any formal information about the incident. Residents of the area reported being startled awake by the sound of several gunshots.
Previous Attack
On July 10, at least nine rounds of shots were fired at the cafe from a moving vehicle in Surrey, British Columbia. No injuries were reported. However, the bullets hit the cafe and neighbouring buildings.
Khalistani terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi has claimed responsibility for the attack. Laddi, a most-wanted terrorist listed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), is linked to the banned group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), according to India Today. Laddi cited one of Kapil Sharma’s past remarks as the reason behind the attack.
In a show of unity, the cafe had organised a visit by the Mayor of Surrey and members of the Surrey police service on Sunday. The social media post thanked the officials and said, “We stand united against violence.”
