The Delhi Police Crime Branch has arrested Bandhu Maan Singh Sekhon for his alleged role in the conspiracy to fire at comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada. According to police, Sekhon supplied the weapons and vehicles used by the shooters. While he did not participate in the firing himself, he played a crucial part in planning the attack.
How Sekhon Came Under The Scanner
Canadian police identified the vehicle used by the attackers who opened fire at Sharma's cafe. After the vehicle was traced, Sekhon fled Canada and arrived in India in August.
His identity came to light after Delhi Police recently arrested a gang involved in arms smuggling. During interrogation, members of the gang revealed that they had supplied weapons to Sekhon in Ludhiana. This tip-off enabled the Crime Branch to track him down.
Criminal Background
Police records show that several criminal cases are already registered against Sekhon. At the time of his arrest, officers recovered a high-end PX-3 "Made in China" pistol and eight live cartridges from him.
According to Joint CP Crime Branch Delhi Police Surender Kumar, Sekhon went to Canada for the first time in 2019. "He went there on an employment visa and worked at two or three locations there. After that, he came in contact with extremists and went to jail in some cases. He came into contact with them in jail and then started working with them," Kumar told ANI.

A video has also surfaced showing Sekhon firing rapid shots into the air with a shotgun. In the footage, he is seen in a snowy location, presumably Canada, wearing a biker jacket and spectacles, and recording himself while dangerously discharging the weapon.
Links To Goldy Dhillon Gang
The Goldy Dhillon gang is known as an India-Canada-based criminal network, and Sekhon is believed to be a handler for the organisation. Police are investigating how the conspiracy to attack Kapil Sharma's cafe was planned and who else may have been involved.
