CALGARY, Canada, Feb. 24 (ANI) — A fresh shooting incident has been reported in Calgary, with alleged members of the gang linked to Lawrence Bishnoi claiming responsibility through a social media post. The claim was reportedly made by Tyson Bishnoi and Arzu Bishnoi.
In the post, the individuals stated, “The Lawrence gang takes responsibility for the firing at a shop named Malwa Tires.” Authorities identified the location as a commercial establishment in the southeastern part of the city.
The message also referred to a viral video allegedly showing a shooting involving Harpreet Brar. The footage has circulated widely on social media, drawing significant public attention.
Security agencies have begun examining both the social media post and the video to verify their authenticity and determine the credibility of the claims. Officials are assessing whether those named in the post are directly connected to the incident.
The development has once again raised concerns over gang-linked violence in Canada. Authorities have not confirmed any arrests in connection with the latest shooting and said investigations remain ongoing.
Earlier in the day, Indian High Commissioner to Canada Dinesh Patnaik said India and Canada recognize the need for sustained dialogue and enhanced security cooperation to address violent extremism and transnational crime, emphasizing the importance of joint efforts to ensure citizen safety.
Speaking to ANI ahead of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to India and other Indo-Pacific allies, Patnaik said recent discussions between the two countries’ National Security Advisors during Ajit Doval’s visit to Ottawa marked a significant step forward in strengthening bilateral security ties.
“This was discussed recently when NSA Ajit Doval visited Canada, and he had extensive discussions with his counterpart, Nathalie Drouin, as well as the Minister for Public Safety,” Patnaik said. “They have developed a strong action plan to enhance security cooperation on issues including fentanyl smuggling, transnational organized crime, violent extremism, immigration fraud, cybercrime, and cybersecurity.” (ANI)
