Canada: The home of the son of the head of Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada was targeted in a shooting. Investigators are still searching for the shooters and have yet to determine a motive for the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n Satish Kumar, the temple head, said between 11 and 14 bullets were fired. \u201cI can say nothing about why it happened,\u201d he said. Kumar added there have been cases of extortion in the area. \u201cMy son recently sold an insurance agency and they may have thought he had a lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n The temple was in the news when its members last month countered a protest of the secessionist group Sikhs for Justice against the killing of Khalistani figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 in Surrey.<\/p>\n Months later, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s allegation of the involvement of Indian government agents in Nijjar\u2019s killing triggered a diplomatic row. The allegation prompted India to ask Canada to withdraw 41 of the 62 its diplomats.<\/p>\n Khalistani elements pasted posters targeting India\u2019s senior-most diplomats on the Surrey temple\u2019s gate and walls. There have been a series of cases of vandalisation of temples in British Columbia.<\/p>\n Kumar and his son are prominent businesspersons in the area, which has reported a spate of extortion attempts. On November 23, police cited extortions targeting business owners while encouraging anyone who may be a victim to call.<\/p>\n Lakshmi Narayan Mandir council member Parshotam Goel said they were concerned but had no clue who was behind the firing. \u201c\u2026we do not want to accuse anyone without proof.\u201d<\/p>\n In a statement on Thursday, Royal Canadian Mounted Police\u2019s Surrey detachment said the attack was under investigation. \u201c\u2026officers responded to reports of shots fired at the residence at around 8am on Wednesday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n There were no injuries but the residence sustained damage consistent with bullet holes. \u201cOfficers are still working to determine the motive of this incident,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] Canada: The home of the son of the head of Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada was targeted in a shooting.
