Comedian Kapil Sharma's KAP'S CAFE in Canada has been targeted again, with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility for the attack, according to multiple reports
This marks the third attack on Kapil Sharma's cafe in the last four months. Reportedly, Gangsters Goldy Dhillon and Kuldeep Sidhu, linked to Lawrence Bishnoi's gang, took credit for the attack on social media.
A video of the incident surfaced online showing a man in a vehicle sticking his arm out of the window and firing multiple shots with a handgun.
Livemint could not independently verify the reports and video clips posted online.
Following the attack, a post by Goldy Dhillon emerged online, reportedly saying, “We have no enmity with the general public," according to reports.
In late September, the Canadian government designated the Bishnoi Gang as a “terror entity.” The gang is reportedly led by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is jailed in India. Although Delhi has long aimed to control terror groups threatening India, Ottawa's Liberal government responded by stating that this gang “targets specific communities,' including the diaspora, within Canada.
Kapil Sharma's cafe was first attacked on July 10, and a second attack occurred on August 8, during which at least 25 shots were fired.
In the July 10 attack, shots were fired at the café while some staff members were still inside. No injuries were reported, but at least 10 bullet holes were found in one window, and another pane was shattered.
Kapil Sharma was attacked in August, with a video of the incident was circulating online, in which at least 25 gunshots can be heard, along with a voice saying,“…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," Mint earlier reported.
After the attack in August, Mumbai police provided security to Kapil Sharma following two shootings at his café in Canada and threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, news agency PTI reported earlier.
Police have provided adequate security to Sharma, ensuring his safety, he said, without divulging any details about the arrangement.
