In a shocking turn of events, comedian Kapil Sharma’s newly launched restaurant, KAP’S CAFE, came under gunfire late Wednesday night in Surrey, Canada. The incident has sent ripples through the Indian community abroad, especially among fans of the popular entertainer.
Multiple Shots Fired at Kapil’s Cafe
Several television networks reported early on that unidentified individuals fired multiple rounds at the café. Fortunately, the gunfire did not injure anyone. The attackers struck during the late hours, likely when the restaurant had closed or was wrapping up operations. Despite the intensity of the gunfire, the absence of casualties has come as a major relief.
Swift Police Responds, No Injuries Reported
Authorities responded quickly to the scene. Law enforcement officials immediately sealed off the area to secure the premises and preserve evidence. An investigation is now underway to determine the full scope of the attack and identify those involved. Forensic teams and surveillance footage are expected to play a crucial role in piecing together the timeline of the incident.
BKI Activist Claims Responsibilty
In a startling development, a member of the banned Khalistani outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) has claimed responsibility for the attack. The activist cited past remarks allegedly made by Kapil Sharma regarding the attire of Nihang Singhs—a traditional Sikh warrior order—as the motive behind the shooting. While the exact nature of the comments remains unclear, the claim has added a serious layer of controversy to the case.
KAP’S CAFE had only recently opened its doors and was already gaining popularity among the Indian diaspora in Canada. Known for its cozy ambiance and Indian-inspired menu, the café was quickly becoming a go-to destination for fans of Kapil Sharma and lovers of Indian cuisine alike. The attack has cast a shadow over what was shaping up to be a promising new venture for the comedian.
Kapil Sharma Yet To Respond
As of now, Kapil Sharma has not issued any public statement regarding the incident. Fans and well-wishers are eagerly awaiting his response, hoping for reassurance and clarity. Given the gravity of the situation, many expect a formal statement in the coming days.
The investigation is expected to intensify in the coming weeks. Authorities are likely to explore both the security angle and the political motivations behind the attack. Meanwhile, the Indian community in Canada remains on edge, concerned about the implications of such targeted violence. This incident not only raises questions about public safety but also highlights the risks public figures face—even beyond their home countries.
