Notably, this is the second incident wherein the Khalistani terrorists targeted a Hindu temple in Canada's Surrey, British Columbia. On August 12, two Khalistan supporters defaced a temple in Surrey with anti-Hindu and anti-India graffiti.
The incident happened when a visitor visited Mahadev Khola Dham and asked one of the stores there for an Amul Kool beverage. However, he informed the shopkeeper that he would pay her later. On refusal, he felt insulted and hurled a coconut at the woman shopkeeper.
