At least 14 rounds were fired at the home of Satish Kumar's elder son on December 27 in Surrey. Kumar is president of the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir temple. No injuries occurred but the house sustained damage. The attack follows a rise in vandalism targeting Hindu temples across Canada recently, including Kumar's temple. These incidents have coincided with increased pro-Khalistan separatist activism. Canadian authorities are investigating the shooting as a potential hate crime. India has raised concerns over defacements of Hindu places of worship in Canada multiple times with the government.
