Kapil Sharma Café Attack In Canada Part Of Larger ISI-Backed Khalistani Conspiracy: Sources
According to top Indian intelligence sources, the attack was not an isolated act of vandalism, but a carefully orchestrated operation with roots in Surrey, Canada. The recent firing at comedian Kapil Sharma's café in Punjab has raised red flags across Indian and international intelligence agencies, who believe the incident is part of a broader, ISI-backed Khalistani conspiracy aimed at intimidating Indian voices abroad. According to top Indian intelligence sources, the attack was not an isolated act of vandalism, but a carefully orchestrated operation with roots in Surrey, Canada — now regarded as a key operational hub for Khalistani terror and ideological activity. Harjit Singh Laddi, a designated terrorist and member of the banned outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), claimed responsibility for the attack on social media, stating it was in response to alleged insults to the Nihang Sikh community. Laddi, wanted by India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) for the April 2024 assassination of Hindu leader Vikas Prabhakar, is currently believed to be hiding in DHA, Pakistan, and is known to be closely associated with Wadhawa Singh, a senior BKI figure, as per Indian intelligence inputs. Sources indicate that the assault on Kapil Sharma's café — which also damaged nearby residential buildings — was symbolic, meant to instill fear among the Indo-Canadian community and global Indian diaspora. It highlights how Khalistani groups, with direct logistical and financial backing from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), are targeting high-profile Indian celebrities, businessmen, and temples abroad to amplify their propaganda. India has repeatedly flagged Canada's inaction on dossiers naming Khalistani terrorists like Laddi, which intelligence officials say has emboldened such actors. ISI's role, according to top sources, is pivotal — not only in funding and arming these networks but also in fueling diaspora grievances to destabilise Indian interests globally. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Top Bangladeshi Economist Abul Barkat Arrested In Corruption Case
In what is widely being viewed as a case of government overreach and a targeted assault on civil society, renowned Bangladeshi economist and former chairman of Janata Bank, Abul Barkat, was arrested by the Detective Branch of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police in connection with a corruption case. The arrest followed late-night searches at his residence and has raised alarm among rights activists and opposition voices ahead of national elections. Barkat's daughter revealed the circumstances of his arrest, stating that more than 20 policemen showed up at his doorstep and arrested him. Barkat, a respected academic who taught at Dhaka University for 40 years, has long been a prominent voice speaking out on the rights and vulnerabilities of minorities in Bangladesh, particularly the Hindu community. He has also been an unflinching critic of radical Islam and the Jamaat-e-Islami, a group that has often faced accusations of violence and discrimination against religious minorities. Barkat has previously warned that there will be no Hindus left in Bangladesh in 30 years. His arrest has sparked accusations that the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus is moving to silence dissenting voices and suppress critics ahead of the polls. Barkat is believed to have been targeted for his outspoken criticism of the regime, especially for calling out its failure to curb extremist elements and protect vulnerable communities.
