Kapil Sharma: Overview of the Incident
According to reports by Times of India and NDTV, multiple gunshots were fired at Kap’s Café around 3:40 a.m. in the Newton neighborhood of Surrey, British Columbia. Surveillance footage showed a car speeding past the café while a shooter opened fire from inside the vehicle. Fortunately, no staff or bystanders were injured, though the building façade and windows were heavily damaged.
Gangsters Goldy Dhillon and Kuldeep (Kulvir) Sidhu, alleged associates of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility via social media shortly after the shooting. In a chilling online post, they warned, “We have no enmity with the public, but those who oppose us should stay away. Bullets can come from anywhere.”
A Timeline of the Attacks
| Date | Details | Claimed Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| July 10, 2025 | First attack occurred weeks after Café’s launch. Approx. 10 bullets were fired into the glass façade late at night. | Allegedly by Babbar Khalsa International operative Harjeet Singh Laddi |
| August 7, 2025 | 25 rounds fired in rapid succession, shattering newly replaced glass. | Lawrence Bishnoi Gang via associate Goldy Dhillon |
| October 16, 2025 | Latest attack; six shots fired from a vehicle at 3:40 am. | Claimed by Goldy Dhillon & Kuldeep Sidhu (Bishnoi faction) |
Authorities suspect that extortion and ideological retaliation may be behind the targeted shootings — one of the gang’s earlier posts accused “Bollywood figures who speak against religion.”
Police and Public Reaction
The Surrey Police Service (SPS) confirmed responding to reports of gunfire and is investigating the incident as organized gang activity. Officers stressed that while no injuries occurred, the attacks are “an immediate risk to public safety.”
The police have also collaborated with Indian intelligence agencies, given the perpetrators’ alleged association with Lawrence Bishnoi, who has previously issued threats against several Indian celebrities including Salman Khan.
A police spokesperson added:
“These crimes are not random. We urge the public to maintain caution and report any suspicious movements seen near the Newton area.”
Meanwhile, Kap’s Café management released an emotional note on Instagram:
“We will not give in to fear. Our café stands as a place of love, laughter, and community. Violence has no place in our story.”
The establishment had only recently reopened on October 2 after months of repairs due to the August assault.
Why the Attacks Are Raising Global Concern
- International Crime Network: The involvement of the Bishnoi gang and prior claims from BKI militants show cross-border criminal outreach.
- Bollywood Link: The post accompanying the October shooting referenced “Bollywood names who insult religion,” hinting at possible motives outside extortion.
- Threat Expansion: The attackers warned that their “next move would occur in Mumbai” if their message went unheeded — a statement now being taken seriously by Indian authorities.

| Agency | Response |
|---|---|
| Surrey Police Service (SPS) | Increased patrols in Newton area around Kap’s Café; security tape and CCTV review ongoing. |
