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, Nov 28. 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.
India, Indonesia working on BrahMos deal, maritime ties
India and Indonesia on Nov 28 discussed the sale of BrahMos supersonic missile and separately committed to enhance cooperation in the maritime domain. Sources said the missile sale was discussed and modalities were being worked out. The issue came up at the Defence Cooperation Dialogue hosted by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for his Indonesian counterpart Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin in New Delhi. Rajnath Singh also gifted a model of BrahMos missile to Sjamsoeddin and posted a picture on X. The Indonesian delegation was briefed about the missile by officials of the India-Russia joint venture, also named BrahMos.
India has already sold the missile to the Philippines, a country with a coastline along the disputed, hydrocarbon-rich South China Sea. Indonesia also has a coast on the same sea, where China has overlapping maritime claims.
India and Indonesia are working on phased procurement that would include BrahMos missile, which can strike targets up to 300 km away. A Ministry of Defence statement said, “Both countries committed to enhancing practical cooperation in maritime domain awareness, cyber resilience and joint operational readiness.”
