The last chapter is the demonstration organized in front of the restaurant to demand its closure.
Demonstration with shouts of Allah Akbar
On Friday, November 13, hundreds of Muslims gathered in front of Singh's Dining to demand its closure. The protest, organized by Muslim activists, brought together a crowd that shouted «Allahu Akbar», «Shame» and «Free Palestine».

The London Metropolitan Police had arrested him that same day at his home, hours before the protest. At the moment, the reasons for the arrest have not been officially confirmed.

A restaurant has already closed for not serving meat halal
The Singh's Dining case is not the first episode of harassment that Harman Singh Kapoor has reported. In February 2026, he announced the closure of the Rangrez restaurant. for the threats, assaults and harassment campaigns he suffered from Muslims opposed to his refusal to serve meat halal.
Kapoor accused the Metropolitan Police of failing to protect him from attacks. The businessman publicly denounced what he considered to be double standards: «Whether Muslims can display signs halal outside their restaurants in the UK without facing hate or abuse, why am I, as a Sikh, being insulted and attacked by Muslims for displaying “Proudly, we do not sell halal”?». Eight months later, he again denounces threats and pressure to close the other restaurant business. What was supposed to be a lifelong family business is in danger not because of a lack of customers or quality, but because of the sustained harassment that neither the police nor the local authorities know or want to stop.
A British patriot with thousands of followers
Harman Singh Kapoor has become a well-known figure on social media, especially on X, where he has amassed over 159,000 followers.
