(File Photo)The Mumbai police on Monday said that following the two incidents of firings outside comedian Kapil Sharma’s restaurant in Canada’s Surrey last month, they have provided “adequate security” to him.
Soon after the second firing that took place on August 8, an audio clip was shared on social media platforms where a person claiming to have carried out the firing is heard saying that they called the “target” who did not hear the ring and hence they had to carry out the firing and that if he continued the ignore them, “the next action will be taken soon in Mumbai.”
When asked about the security provided to the comedian, a senior official from the Mumbai police said, “Adequate security has been provided to him.”
When asked if Sharma had given any official complaint to the Mumbai police, the official replied in negative.
Soon after the firing, a social media message had been put up by an account in the name of Goldy Dhillon that had the display picture of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
In the message, the person claimed that Goldy Dhillon from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was taking the responsibility for the attack.
The first attack at the comedian’s newly opened Kap’s Cafe took place on July 10 when nearly 10 rounds were fired. No one was injured.
A day after the attack, a person claiming to be a member of Lawrence Bishnoi gang issued a warning that actors, producers and directors working with Salman Khan will not be spared.
Sharma is suspected to have been targeted by the gang as he is known to share close ties with actor Salman Khan who appeared in the first episode of the Kapil Sharma’s Netflix show’s third season.
Salman has been on the radar of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for allegedly shooting down a blackbuck during a film shooting in Rajasthan in 1998. Blackbuck is considered to be sacred by the Bishnoi community.
