Kapil Sharma on gunfiring at his cafe
Talking about the incident, Kapil Sharma told the media that the Canadian parliament took up the matter. “It happened in Vancouver, Canada, and I think they fired three times. I feel the police may not have the power to intervene there. But after that, when this case happened, it went to the federal government, like our central government, and it was discussed in the Parliament of Canada,” he revealed.
He further mentioned, “So, I think we don`t understand the story behind what God does. But I got a call from a lot of people, that there was already a lot going on there. But it was fired at your cafe, it became news. So now, the police there, the law and order there, they are moving towards improving things there. I never feel unsafe in Mumbai and in my country. Those guys don`t have police like Mumbai”.
About attack on Kapil`s cafe
Last month, multiple rounds were fired outside Kapil Sharma’s cafe in Canada. The responsibility for the shooting was claimed by the gang members of the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Kulveer Sidhu, and Goldy Dhillon. They put up a social media post claiming responsibility for the attack, and said that they don’t intend to harm civilians but those who cheat and harm them should be warned.
This marked the 3rd attack in 4 months at the Kap’s cafe in Surrey, Canada. The first attack was claimed by Harjit Singh Laddi, a wanted terrorist affiliated with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). The claim reportedly cites some remarks by Kapil Sharma that allegedly offended the Nihang Sikh community.
The second attack is claimed by gangs linked to Goldy Dhillon and Lawrence Bishnoi. The jailed gangster has been after Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in order to avenge the illegal hunting of the black buck, which is considered sacred by the Bishnoi community.
