Who took responsibility for the attack? 

Harjit Singh Laddi, a Germany-based operative of the banned Khalistani terrorist group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) has claimed responsibility for the shooting. Laddi reportedly stated the act was in response to a past remark on Nihang Singhs made by Kapil Sharma at The Kapil Sharma Show.
