Who is Harjeet Singh Laddi, Babbar Khalsa International terrorist behind firing at Kap's Cafe in Canada? Khalistani terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi, who is one of India's most-wanted criminals, has said he was behind the shooting outside Kap's Cafe in Surrey in Canada. This new restaurant is said to be linked to Indian comedian Kapil Sharma. The firing happened late at night on July 9. Some unknown people shot bullets outside the cafe, but luckily, no one was hurt.

A statement circulating online said: 'This is a mockery of Sikh spiritual traditions and the dignity of Nihang Singhs. No religion or spiritual identity should be ridiculed in the name of comedy.' The statement also claimed that attempts were made to reach Kapil Sharma's team to explain the hurt caused, but all calls were reportedly ignored. It ended with a demand for a public apology from Kapil Sharma. On the night of the attack, nearly 12 bullets were fired at the cafe, according to Canadian journalist Sameer Kaushal.
