Soon after the video went viral, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut condemned the act and called it a “cowardly killing of an old woman". She slammed Shubh and wrote that he should be ashamed for glorifying the attack on an elderly lady "who was disarmed and unaware".
This is not Shubh’s first tryst with scandals as he was earlier accused of supporting Khalistani separatists when Canada accused India of killing Khalistani terrorists Hardeep Singh Nijjar in the Canadian province of British Columbia nearly two months ago. Ever since then, the diplomatic ties have worsened between the two countries.
