A team of Mumbai Police visited comedian Kapil Sharma’s residence on Friday, a day after several rounds were fired at his café in Canada. According to the media reports, personnel from Oshiwara Police Station conducted a security check at his home and questioned the comedian as part of a precautionary measure. The team also reportedly spoke with the building’s private security staff. The shooting took place around 1 a.m. on July 9 (Canada time) at Kap’s Café in Surrey, British Columbia. No injuries were reported.
Khalistani terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi claimed responsibility for the attack. He demanded an apology from Kapil Sharma for alleged objectionable remarks made on the comedian’s show. According to a report by India Today, the attackers felt that Nihang Sikhs were insulted on the show. They reportedly said Sharma ignored their calls seeking an apology.
