Delhi Police arrest gangster linked to firing at Kapil Sharma’s Canada restaurant       

The Delhi Police have arrested a suspected gangster allegedly involved in the firing at comedian Kapil Sharma's restaurant in Canada, an official said on Friday.

Bandhu Man Singh is a close associate of Canada-based gangster Goldy Dhillon, who is believed to be involved in multiple extortion rackets targeting businessmen and high-profile individuals abroad, he added.

According to investigators, Singh was coordinating with Dhillon's network and part of a broader conspiracy to target the popular artiste's restaurant as an act of intimidation.

A police officer said the arrest followed specific intelligence inputs.

"A Chinese pistol along with cartridges was recovered from him. His role in the conspiracy and his links with overseas operatives are being probed," the officer said.

Further investigation is under way to identify additional conspirators and ascertain the extent of the gang's activities in India and abroad, officials said.
