"AK-47 On Your Chest": After Attack On Kapil Sharma's Cafe, A Stern Warning
A member belonging to jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's group has issued a stern warning to actors, producers and directors, a day after shots were fired outside actor-comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada. In an audio clip, the gang member Harry Boxer said that anyone who works with actor Salman Khan will not be spared. Shots were fired at actor-comedian Kapil Sharma's newly-opened Kaps Cafe in Canada's Surrey on Thursday, the second such incident in less than a month, with the previous shooting on July 10. This came after Khan appeared in the inaugural episode of the third season of Sharma's Netflix show, which aired on June 21. "Any producer, director or actor who works with him (Salman Khan) will be shot in the chest with an AK-47," Boxer can be heard saying in the clip. He added that his gang will go to any length to kill any small-time producers, directors and actors who work with the Sultan and Sikandar actor. "Anyone who works with him will be responsible for their own death," Boxer said. Bishnoi's gang has issued many warnings to the actor, who has been their target since he was accused of hunting a blackbuck during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain in Jodhpur in 1998. The Bishnoi community considers blackbucks sacred. Khan has been given high security cover since an April 14 firing incident last year at his Mumbai residence. Boxer, a native of Rajasthan, has two criminal cases against him in the state. He immigrated illegally to the US in 2014 and former an association with the gang led by Bishnoi, also a prime accused in the 2022 murder of Punjabi artist Sidhu Moosewala. He is said to be in constant communication with the jailed gangster's brother Anmol Bishnoi. After Bishnoi's fallout with Goldy Brar, Boxer was prepared for the gang's US operations, who allegedly makes extortion calls to India. After the attack, the cafe had said in an Instagram post that they were "processing the shock" but stand firm against violence. "We opened Kap's Cafe with hopes of bringing warmth, community, and joy through delicious coffee and friendly conversation. To have violence intersect with that dream is heartbreaking. We are processing this shock but we are not giving up," the cafe said in its statement. "Jai Shree Ram. Sat Shree Akaal, Ram Ram to all brothers. The firing that took place today at Kapil Sharma's 'Kaps Cafe' in Surrey has been claimed by Goldy Dhillon, affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang," a post said after the shooting stated. "We called him [possibly the target], but he did not answer the call, so we had to take this action. If he still does not respond, then we will take another action soon, this time in Mumbai." Harjeet Singh Laddi, also known as 'Laddi Khalistani', an operative of the banned terror group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) also claimed responsibility for the attack on the cafe. Using social media, Laddi stated that the attack was done in response to the remarks made about the Nihang Sikhs' attire during a television show hosted by Kapil.

A Salman Khan Link To Attack On Kapil Sharma's Cafe In Canada
Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma was targeted once again, with at least 25 shots being fired at his Kaps Cafe in Canada for the second time in a month. Two gangs - Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon, and Lawrence Bishnoi - claimed responsibility for the attack on social media. A purported video of the attack had surfaced in which a voice was heard saying amid the crack of the gunshots: "We had called the target, but he didn't hear the ring, so we had to take action. If he still doesn't hear the ring, the next action will be taken soon in Mumbai." According to sources, the Crime Branch is investigating whether the attackers had done a recce around Mr Sharma's house or shooting set. The comedian may also be granted police protection, they added. But why are the gangsters targeting Kapil Sharma? One of the main reasons is believed to be Mr Sharma's closeness to actor Salman Khan, who has been targeted by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang since he was accused of hunting a blackbuck during the shooting of 'Hum Sath Sath Hain' in Jodhpur in 1998. It is believed that the Bishnoi community wants to spread fear among those people close to Mr Khan. The gangster, who is in prison, has a long-standing feud with Mr Khan and has issued him multiple threats in the past as his community considers blackbucks sacred. Mr Khan has been under a high security cover since the attack at his house last year. He was upgraded to Y+ security after the April 14 firing incident last year when two bike-borne men fired four rounds of gunshots at Mr Khan's Bandra residence and fled the spot. Shubham Lonkar's name was mentioned in one of the posts claiming responsibility for the attack on Mr Sharma's cafe. Lonkar was responsible for the murder of former minister Baba Siddique - who was also close to Mr Khan. Sources also believe that Mr Sharma's popularity may be a reason for the gangsters targeting him. Additionally, they believe that the gangsters want to create an atmosphere of fear in Bollywood. Attack on Kapil Sharma's cafe Shots were fired at comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada's Surrey for a second time this month on Thursday. The Kaps Cafe has said they will stand "firm" against violence to keep the place a symbol of "warmth and community" for its visitors. The first attack at the comedian's newly opened Kap's Cafe happened on July 10, when some employees were still inside. No one was injured in the firing. At least 10 bullet holes were found in a window at the cafe, while another window pane was shattered. A member of the terror group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) had claimed responsibility for the attack after they said a participant at the comedian's show made some "humorous" remarks on the traditional dress and conduct of Nihang Sikhs, which hurt the sentiments of the community. The BKI is recognised as a terrorist outfit by the Canadian government. Laddi is also on the National Investigation Agency's most-wanted list.

Fresh incident of fiting at Kapil Sharma's Cafe in Surrey, Canada: Reports
Surrey [Canada], August 7 (ANI): Shots were reportedly fired at Indian comedian and actor Kapil Sharma's Kap's Cafe in Surrey, the second such incident reported in less than a month, according to a report by Indo-Canadian Voice. A viral social media post, allegedly shared by gangster Goldy Dhillon and attributed to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the attack. 'Jai Shri Ram... aaj jo Kapil Sharma ke Kap's Cafe, Surrey mein firing hui hai, iski zimmedari Goldy Dhillon te Lawrence Bishnoi gang leti hai... next karwai jald hi Mumbai mein karenge, (Goldy Dhillon and Lawrence Bishnoi gang take responsibility for today's firing at Kaps Cafe in Surrey, we will now do this in Mumbai next), ' the post read. However, no independent verification of the claim has been made so far. Surrey Police authorities have not shared detail about the firing at Kaps Cafe so far. Further details are awaited. This reported attack comes less than a month after a shooting incident at the same cafe in the second week of July, when several gunshots were fired. Police had launched an investigation into the attack, the Vancouver Sun had reported. Several gunshots had rung outside Kap's Cafe at 1:50 am (local time), according to Surrey Police Service. Police had said some staff members had been present inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting. No one was injured in the incident. The cafe had opened earlier that week. At least 10 bullet holes were seen in a window at Kap's Cafe that morning, while another window pane was shattered. The building where the cafe is located has retail units at ground level and residential apartments above; however, it was not known how many residents live in the building. A multi-faith centre and two other yet-to-be-opened businesses occupy other ground-level units. Officers were seen in the restaurant gathering evidence while children played across the street outside a daycare in the Newton neighbourhood, which had been cordoned off by police tape, as reported by Vancouver Sun. Spokesperson Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said police were aware of reports in Indian media claiming that a Khalistani separatist had claimed responsibility for the shooting. In a statement, the Surrey Police Service (SPS) said the investigation was still in the very early stages and that 'connections to other incidents and potential motives are being examined.' Police did not have a suspect description and the motive behind the shooting had not been determined, Vancouver Sun reported. Houghton added officers were still speaking to witnesses and working to obtain CCTV footage. He said, 'Once that's done, we'll have a better idea of what happened.'
