Gunfire erupted at Kapil Sharma's cafe in Canada, marking the second such incident in the past month.
In a concerning turn of events, Kapil Sharma's Kap's Cafe in Surrey, Canada, was targeted in a second shooting incident on August 7, 2025. The cafe was hit by multiple gunshots, with at least six bullet holes found in this latest attack. Remarkably, no staff or customers were injured in the incident [1][4][5].
Two criminal gangs, Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon and Lawrence Bishnoi, have claimed responsibility for the attack on social media. A threatening video linked to the incident warned of further actions in Mumbai if warnings were ignored, prompting investigation by the Mumbai Police and other security agencies alongside local Canadian police [2].
The motive behind these attacks remains unclear, and no arrests have been made so far. The first shooting occurred on July 10, shortly after the cafe's launch, also without any injuries but with property damage including bullet-riddled windows [3][4].
Authorities are yet to share specific updates on enhanced security protocols at Kap's Cafe. However, the Surrey Police continue to investigate, and have requested public assistance. The ongoing investigation encompasses coordination with Indian agencies due to the cross-border nature of threats involved [1][2][4].
The situation remains under active investigation, with authorities seeking to identify suspects and motives while ensuring public safety around Kap’s Cafe [1][2][4][5]. The cafe's team, in a show of unity against violence, recently shared a video on their Instagram page featuring Surrey's mayor, Brenda Locke, and police officials [6]. The caption included hashtags such as #peaceoverviolence, #love, #smiles, and #beautifulbritishcolumbia, expressing their appreciation for the support received.
