Rangrez Restaurant in London / Rangrez London
Indian restaurant 'Rangrez', a prominent London eatery located on Fulham Palace Rd, will permanently close next month amid growing online harassment.
Rangrez owner, Harman Singh Kapoor, first made headlines in 2023 after a group of mask-wearing pro-Khalistanis allegedly vandalized the restaurant because of Kapoor's ideological differences with the group.
More recently, Kapoor's car was vandalized outside his home, an incident in which he alleged significant police inaction.

Talking about why he decided to call it quits after running the restaurant for 16 years, he said, "Rising costs, ongoing online harassment, repeated disturbances and attacks by Pakistanis and a lack of proper support from the Met Police have made it impossible to continue."
Kapoor also announced that now he will now dedicate himself fully to activism, he said, "Radicals should keep this in mind: you can disrupt my business, but not my will. I’m coming after you stronger now, with no strings attached."
