Thankfully, like the last time, nobody was injured. Several residents called police control around 4.30am after hearing gunshots, prompting the dispatch of several police units. A social media post whose authenticity is not verified surfaced after the shooting in which a man named Goldy Dhillon, an associate of Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, claimed responsibility for the attack.‘Mumbai next’: Threat after Surrey cafe shootingIndian agencies are verifying the authenticity of the post which says that the gangsters had called Sharma but as he didn’t answer they had to act. The post threatens that the gang’s next operation will be in Mumbai. On July 9, shots were fired at Kap’s Cafe by a shooter who was wearing a body-camera and filming the shooting.Germany-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi had claimed responsibility for the attack. This time too, the shooter filmed the act and released the footage on social media platforms. Both incidents remain unsolved with Surrey cops struggling to get any leads.Kap’s Cafe had recently been inaugurated as Sharma’s first international restaurant venture.After last month’s shooting, BKI operative Laddi claimed that it was retribution for some claims purportedly made on Sharma’s show in the past. Laddi is a notorious pro-Khalistan operative and a most-wanted fugitive for India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA).In a social media post, Laddi had said: “In an episode of Kapil Sharma’s comedy show, a character made some humorous remarks about the dress or behaviour of Nihang Sikhs. We tried to contact Kapil Sharma’s manager by calling him several times, but there was no response from him. All our calls were ignored. If Kapil Sharma doesn’t apologise publicly…”Issuing a threat to Sharma and other Indian-origin businessmen in Canada, SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said: “To Kapil Sharma and every other Modi-brand Hindutva investor: Canada is not your playground. Take your blood money back to Hindustan. Canada will not allow violent Hindutva ideology to take root on Canadian soil under the guise of business”.Sharing a video clip on his Instagram account about the visit of Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke along with officials and police personnel, Sharma wrote, “Thank you to the Mayor of Surrey Brenda Locke and all the officials who visited Kaps’ Cafe to show their love and support, united we stand against violence, we are truly grateful.”Earlier, an attack was made at the property of Punjabi singer Karan Aujla at Surrey in 2019.Gunshots were also reportedly fired at the residence of Punjabi singer Gippy Grewal in Vancouver, on Nov 26, 2023, followed by an attack at the residence of Punjabi artist A P Dhillon at Colwood, Vancouver Island, on Sept 2, 2024.
