London-based restaurateur Harman Singh Kapoor has announced plans to take legal action against the Metropolitan Police and London Mayor Sadiq Khan after being released from custody following his arrest related to the ongoing tensions surrounding his non-halal restaurants.Kapoor, a Sikh businessman who runs Rangrezz, a restaurant in the Hammersmith area of London, wrote in a post on Twitter that he had spent nearly 24 hours in custody after what he described as an “illegal arrest.”“Released after 24 hours of rigorous detention after illegal arrest and straight back to work as my family still depends on me,” Kapoor wrote.He claimed he had suffered “unfair and persistent discriminatory treatment” and said he intended to take legal action against both the Metropolitan Police and the Mayor of London.Kapoor appealed to supporters to support his restaurant directly instead of donating money online.“I don’t want GoFundMe or handouts. I want to earn it,” he wrote.“If you want to support me, dine at non-halal Indian restaurant Rangrezz in Hammersmith. Support through community, not donations.”His wife also defended him in a separate post on X and accused authorities of repeatedly targeting the restaurant owner.She wrote, “This mad man @metpoliceuk and @MeorofLondon are afraid of my husband @kingkapoor72 because he wanted to transform London and make it liveable.”“Due to this, they are being repeatedly and illegally arrested.”Kapoor has been at the center of controversy in recent months after publicly promoting Rangrezz as a non-halal restaurant.The businessman said the decision was linked to his Sikh faith, which traditionally allows jhatka meat while prohibiting halal slaughter practices for religious reasons.The dyehouse, located on Fulham Palace Road in west London, had operated for about 16 years, with Kapoor saying he was considering closing it down after months of controversies, online outcry and protests.According to Kapoor, the restaurant became the target of harassment after signs such as “Proudly we do not sell Halal” were displayed on the premises.The situation worsened in March when Kapoor promoted a “non-halal meetup” at the restaurant via social media, encouraging supporters to gather outside the venue and record any disturbances.
