The car was found engulfed in flames, while a bus in the Surrey Central neighbourhood was also vandalized. Police were alerted to the incident at 11:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and a suspect is believed to have fled on foot. The Sikhs For Justice group claims the attack occurred at Randhawa's residence and has called for the incident to be treated as an act of terrorism. Randhawa was previously warned by officers about an imminent threat to his life in April, following his involvement in protests and activism.",
