Toronto: Canadian police said it is investigating an incident in which shots were fired at the residence of a Hindu temple’s head’s son in British Columbia in the early hours of Wednesday. Police said no one was injured during the incident at the 14900 block of 80 Avenue in Surrey — the residence of the son of Satish Kumar, president of Lakshmi Narayan Mandir.
“Officers are still working to determine the motive of this incident,” said Constable Parmbir Kahlon, Media Relations Officer for Surrey RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).
Kahlon added that the residence involved sustained damage consistent with bullet holes. According to the Indo-Canadian voice website, as many as 14 shots were fired at the Hindu businessman’s house. Police remained in the area, examining the scene, speaking with witnesses and canvassing the neighbourhood for CCTV footage.
The Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit is conducting the probe, and has appealed to anyone with more information, including dash cam footage of the incident, to get in touch with them.
Canada has witnessed a rise in incidents of vandalism and attacks against Hindu temples and installations in the country with pro-Khalistan elements getting active beginning this year.
