Meanwhile, Harjit Singh Laddi, who is wanted by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) for the 2023 murder of VHP leader Vikas Prabhakar in Punjab, posted on social media claiming responsibility for the shooting. He alleged that “humorous” remarks made on the attire and conduct of Nihang Sikhs in a recent comedy segment had offended the religious sentiments of the Sikh community.Laddi, in his post, stated:”A character was seen wearing Nihang Sikh attire, and jokes were made about their conduct. Such comments are offensive and disrespectful to our religious identity. The community tried to reach out to Sharma’s manager, but no response was received. Why didn’t Kapil Sharma issue a public apology?”He further claimed that he, along with another militant, Toofan Singh, both affiliated with BKI, carried out the attack as a form of protest against what they viewed as religious mockery.
