Unidentified gunmen fired at comedian Kapil Sharma’s newly launched cafe in Canada, Kap’s Cafe, late on Wednesday night. The police said the assailants opened fire at the building where the café is located in Surrey, British Columbia.
Khalistani terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi has claimed responsibility for the firing. Laddi, a most-wanted terrorist in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) list, is linked to the banned outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). It is learnt that Laddi cited one of Kapil Sharma’s remarks in the past as the reason behind the attack.
The assailants reportedly came in a car, fired at the café and sped away. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. It is yet not unclear whether Kap’s Cafe was the intended target or if the firing was meant as a threat directed at the comedian.
The comedian's hit show, Kapil Sharma Show Season 3, had premiered on Netflix on June 21. The first episode featured Salman Khan, followed by the cast of “Metro In Dino” in the second. Indian cricketers were invited to the third episode, while the upcoming fourth episode will feature popular OTT stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Varma, Pratik Gandhi and Jeetendra Kumar.
