Bishnoi gang threatens Bollywood over Salman Khan link after second Kapil Sharma cafe shooting
“We will kill them”: Harry Boxer warns filmmakers against working with Salman Khan
Surrey (Canada): The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has escalated threats against Bollywood personalities, warning filmmakers not to work with actor Salman Khan. This comes after comedian Kapil Sharma’s restaurant, Kap’s Cafe, in Surrey was attacked for the second time on Thursday, a month after a similar shooting on July 8.
According to India Today, in a leaked audio clip, gang member Harry Boxer claimed responsibility for both attacks, stating they were carried out because of Sharma’s association with Salman Khan. “If anyone works with Salman, whether a small-time actor or a small-time director, we will not spare them. We will go to any extent necessary to kill them,” Boxer reportedly said.
The cafe was first targeted in July, when unknown assailants fired multiple rounds before fleeing. Following repairs and reopening, the establishment was attacked again on August 7, with at least half a dozen bullets damaging its windows. CCTV footage shows an armed man firing repeatedly outside the premises.
The Bishnoi gang has had longstanding animosity toward Salman Khan, stemming from the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, in which the actor is the primary accused. Salman was also the first guest on the second season of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, which premiered on June 21.
A purported social media post by alleged gang associate Goldy Dhillon, invoking religious slogans and claiming responsibility for the attack, warned that if calls from the gang are ignored, similar action will be taken “soon in Mumbai.”
Kapil Sharma has not yet commented publicly on the latest incident. Police investigations into both shootings are ongoing.

Congress misleading public on National Herald case, matter still in court: BJP
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday accused the Congress of running misleading propaganda over the trial court's decision in the National Herald case and said the court refused to take cognisance of the complaint but did not set aside the case.
The case is still pending trial in the Delhi High Court, and the trial court in its order on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) can continue its investigation, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted.
"The court yesterday (Tuesday) said that since it is a private complaint and no FIR has been lodged, it will not take cognizance of it. It's a technical matter. The court also said that ED can continue its investigation further. The court did not set it aside," Bhatia told a press conference at the BJP headquarters here
"Its trial is still going on. Sonia Gandhi is still Accused Number-1 and Rahul Gandhi Accused Number-2," the BJP spokesperson said, alleging, "The Gandhi family thrives on deceit, deception, and propaganda."
