Background of the Cafe Attack
- Kapil Sharma’s cafe was targeted in a shooting incident in October.
- Kulvir Sidhu, allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi network, had claimed responsibility on social media, warning that the firing was carried out by him and Goldy Dhillon against those who cheat them or “Bollywood individuals who speak against our religion.”
