Kap's Cafe attack: Kapil Sharma's security beefed up; move after Lawrence Bishnoi gang takes responsibility
His restaurant Kap's Cafe, in Surrey, was targeted last week and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility for the incident.
The statement by a gang member said that the attack came because of Kapil's alleged proximity with actor Salman Khan.
"If anyone works with Salman, whether a small-time actor or a small-time director, we will not spare them. We will kill them. We will go to any extent necessary to kill them," an audio clip of Harry Boxer, a Bishnoi aide said.
This marked the second shooting at the café in a month. A man, on July 9, wearing a body camera opened fire at Kap's Café while recording the incident, with Germany-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) militant Harjeet Singh Laddi later claiming responsibility.
The Bishnoi gang has targeted Khan for years, firing at his Galaxy Apartment last year and allegedly killing his friend, former state minister Siddique, in Bandra on October 12, 2024. Gang members also scouted Khan's Panvel farmhouse for an attack, but the plot did not materialize.

The arrests were made following a raid conducted around 2.15 am near Lodhamau village on the Kisan Path highway towards Sitapur. Police said that adulterated fuel can cause serious damage to vehicles, often leading to breakdowns much earlier than normal. According to an STF statement, Ramu Yadav, Sukhbir Kumar, Sujit Kumar, Rinku Singh, and Mohammad Deenu were nabbed with a tanker carrying 15,000 litres of petrol and 5,000 litres of diesel, as well as drums of ethanol, solvent chemicals and petrol.

The accused reportedly sold the product for Rs 75 to Rs 80 per litre, while buying the solvents for about Rs 30 per litre.

Woman's mutilated body found in Hathras, police arrest kin for murder
Agency: Last Updated: August 12, 2025, 20:00 IST Representational image (Image: News18) Hathras (UP), Aug 12 (PTI) Two days after a woman's mutilated body was found along a canal bank here, police arrested her father and step-grandfather in connection with the murder. The woman's stepmother has also been detained in the matter, police said. Investigations began on August 10 after villagers in the Bahardoi Shahbazpur area spotted the dismembered body near an irrigation canal. Five police teams were formed to investigate the case as initial efforts to identify the victim failed. On Monday, the police identified the victim as Tamanna (19) from Adhauna village in Akrabad, Aligarh district. Her uncle, Abdul Farahim Khan, confirmed the identity and lodged a complaint against unidentified persons. During the investigation, police found that the woman's father, Hasrat Ali, her step-mother, and the step-grandfather, Rajjo Pehalwan alias Raju from Alhaipur village in Hathras district, were involved in the murder, they said. On Tuesday morning, police arrested Hasrat and Rajjo near a canal in Salempur, and detained the stepmother from her parental home in Alhaipur. According to police, Hasrat had divorced Tamanna's mother six years ago and remarried, following which she lived with her father and stepmother. In July, she allegedly left home with a young man from Aligarh for a short time before returning. This allegedly enraged Hasrat and his second wife, leading to harassment and physical abuse, police said. On August 8, Tamanna left her home quietly in the afternoon but was intercepted by her father and stepmother near the Panethi Bridge in Aligarh. Fearing social stigma, the two plotted to kill her and also involved the step-father. Swipe Left For Next Video View all Superintendent of Police Chiranjeev Nath Sinha said, 'the girl was lured to her step-grandfather's house in Chandpa, where she was drugged, strangled, and then taken to the canal. There, the stepmother and step-grandfather held her while the father slit her throat with a knife." 'They also dishevelled her clothing to mislead investigators about the nature of the crime," he said. All three suspects were arrested within 48 hours, and the team that solved the case will receive a reward of Rs 25,000, Sinha added.
