Mumbai, Aug 8
Comedian-actor Kapil Sharma may soon get protection from the Mumbai police following the shooting incident outside his cafe in Canada. This is the 2nd such incident outside his cafe in Surrey, British Columbia. Given the second shooting incident comes within a span of 30 days, the Mumbai police is on alert, and is assessing the threat to the actor’s life.
After this incident, the Crime Branch will now question Kapil Sharma again and will also ask questions related to the claim of social media posts. The Crime Branch has also started an investigation to find out if people associated with this gang have ever conducted a recce around Kapil Sharma's house or the shooting set.
Earlier, Kapil’s cafe in Surrey, British Columbia was under attack as the Babbar Khalsa operative rained bullets. Harjit Singh of the banned terror group Babbar Khalsa claimed responsibility for the attack as he fired 9 bullets at the cafe which was recently inaugurated. As per reports, Harjit said that shooting was in retaliation for comments made about the Nihang Sikhs’ attire during a television show hosted by Kapil Sharma.
Fortunately, there were no injuries to anyone at the business during the attack, which happened in the wee hours of Thursday, around 2:00 am local time at Kap’s Cafe, which is located at the 8400-block of 120th Street in Surrey.
