Indian actor-comedian Kapil Sharma’s café in Surrey, British Columbia, came under gunfire on Aug. 7, making it the second such attack against the establishment in a month.
Surrey Police Service (SPS) said officers responded at approximately 4:40 a.m. to reports of shots fired outside a business in the 8400 block of 120 Street in the Newton neighbourhood. The same location—Kap’s Café—had previously been targeted in a similar shooting on July 10.

“While it appears multiple shots caused damage to the windows and building, fortunately, the staff on premises were uninjured,” SPS said in a news release. Officers from the Delta Police Department also responded to the scene. The investigation is being led by the SPS Frontline Investigative Support (FLIS) Team.
Following the latest incident, Kap’s Café issued a public statement expressing gratitude for the support extended by local authorities. “We are truly honoured to have @themayorofsurrey, members of @surreypoliceservice, and other respected officials visit @thekapscafe_. Your support and presence mean a lot to us and to the community we serve. Thank you for taking the time to stop by,” the statement said.
In the aftermath of the Aug. 7 shooting, an unverified social media post attributed to gangster Goldy Dhillon — who claims affiliation with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang — claimed responsibility. The post alleged the attack was triggered by an unanswered phone call to the café’s owner and warned of further action. However, Canadian authorities have not confirmed the authenticity of the claim or established a motive.
The August 7 attack marks the second such incident at the café, which opened on July 3 as part of Sharma’s “The Great Indian Kapil Sharma” hospitality chain. In the earlier attack on July 10, gunfire was reported around 1:50 a.m., with at least a dozen rounds damaging the front windows. No injuries were reported.
A similar claim of responsibility was made after the July 10 shooting by Harjit Singh Laddi, a Germany-based operative of the banned Babbar Khalsa International and a wanted figure on India’s National Investigation Agency list. That claim also remains unverified.
SPS continues to investigate both incidents and has urged the public to come forward with any information that may help identify those responsible.
