CHANDIGARH: Kap’s Cafe, the Surrey-based restaurant owned by Indian comedian Kapil Sharma, was the target of a third shooting incident, just weeks after reopening following previous attacks this summer. It is learnt that the firing took place early Thursday morning outside the cafe located at 120 Street, 85 Avenue. As per Surrey Police Service (SPS), officers responded to reports of shots fired around 4.30 a.m. PT.
No injuries were reported, but video footage circulating online captures the chaotic scene: muzzle flashes from a vehicle as it speeds past the storefront, shattering windows and riddling the facade with bullet holes. The cafe was closed at the time, sparing patrons and staff from harm.
A video that has gone viral shows a person firing at the cafe from a car. In a social media post, gangsters Goldy Dhillon and Kulvir Sidhu of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang have taken responsibility. "Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. Today’s firing at Caps Cafe, Surrey, was carried out by me, Kulveer Sidhu, and Goldy Dhillon. We hold no grudge against the general public. Those who owe us or cheat us will be warned. Bollywood individuals who speak against our religion should also be prepared, bullets can come from anywhere," it read.
"Jai Shree Ram. Sat Shree Akaal, Ram Ram to all brothers. The firing that happened today at Kapil Sharma's Kaps Cafe in Surrey has been claimed by Goldy Dhillon, affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang," the post read. Referring to Kapil Sharma, the post claimed, "We called him, but he did not answer the call, so we had to take action. If he still does not respond, then we will take the next action in Mumbai soon.’’
The authenticity of the post could not be verified independently. Prior to this firing, the cafe was attacked twice earlier. The first attack, which took place on July 6, was attributed to the Laddi gang, who are linked to the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). The second incident took place on August 7.
