In a chilling turn of events, Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe in Surrey, British Columbia was hit by gunfire for the second time in less than a month on August 7th, 2025. The attack, which saw over 25 rounds fired has been claimed by gangster Goldy Dhillon, allegedly linked to the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. A viral social media post, yet to be verified, threatens further action in Mumbai, escalating fears among fans and locals. As Surrey Police dive into the investigation, this incident raises serious questions about gang violence targeting South Asian businesses in Canada.

Details & Context

Kapil Sharma, India’s beloved comedian and host of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ opened Kap’s Cafe at the intersection of 85 Avenue and Scott Road in Surrey, Canada, just weeks before the first attack on July 9th, 2025. That incident, claimed by Khalistani terrorist Harjit Singh Laddi of the banned Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), saw multiple gunshots fired at the cafe, leaving bullet holes and shattered windows. Laddi, a National Investigation Agency (NIA) most-wanted terrorist, cited Kapil’s alleged remarks about Nihang Sikhs as the motive.

The latest shooting occurred around 4:40 am on August 7th, 2025 with no injuries reported despite staff being present. Local residents described hearing five to eight gunshots with some mistaking them for fireworks. “I saw it from my patio. I heard shots fired, like five or six shots and then the cops came,” said Bob Singh, a nearby resident, to 1130 NewsRadio. Another resident, Michelle Gaucher, added, “We were woken up to eight gunshots—it was not fireworks.”

A viral social media post, allegedly from Goldy Dhillon, claimed responsibility on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The post, written in Hindi, read: “Jai Shri Ram… The firing that happened today at Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe in Surrey has been claimed by Goldy Dhillon, affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. We called him but he did not answer, so we had to take action. If he still does not respond, the next action will be in Mumbai soon.” The post’s authenticity remains unverified and Mumbai Police have begun investigating its credibility. 

Surrey Police Service (SPS) confirmed the incident, stating that their Frontline Investigative Support (FLIS) Team is probing potential connections to other extortion-related incidents targeting South Asian businesses in the region. No arrests have been made and the motive is still under investigation. Authorities are collecting CCTV footage and witness statements to piece together the events.

This incident follows a pattern of violence against prominent Indian figures in Canada. In September 2024, Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s Vancouver residence was targeted with 14 rounds, claimed by the Lawrence Bishnoi and Rohit Godara gangs. In November 2023, Gippy Grewal’s home in White Rock was also attacked with the Bishnoi gang taking responsibility.

Quotes

·       Kapil Sharma, addressing the July attack, shared a heartfelt message on social media: “We opened Kap’s Cafe with the hope of serving delicious coffee, fostering friendly conversations and bringing people together. Such acts of violence are truly heartbreaking. We are recovering from this blow but we will not give up.” He emphasized standing against violence, adding, “Your support, kindness, prayers and the moments you’ve spent at the cafe mean more to us than any blessing. We built this cafe with faith in you and we will ensure it remains a warm, friendly space.”

·       Maninder Gill, President of Friends of Canada & India Foundation, condemned the attacks: “Canada is a champion of entrepreneurship and free enterprise but criminal incidents targeting businesses for extortions have instilled fear in the community. The attack on Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe is despicable and I urge the Surrey Police & RCMP to take stringent action against the culprits.”

Additional Information

Goldy Dhillon, also known as Gurpreet Singh is a known associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, infamous for its criminal activities, including extortion and targeted attacks. The gang has been linked to multiple high-profile incidents in India and abroad including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022. The Bishnoi gang’s operations in Canada have raised concerns about transnational crime networks targeting the South Asian diaspora.

The July attack, claimed by Harjit Singh Laddi was reportedly motivated by Kapil’s alleged comments about Nihang Sikhs, though no specific remarks have been publicly verified. Controversial figure Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a designated terrorist and leader of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), also threatened Kapil post-attack, stating, “Canada is not your playground” and urging him to “take back his blood money to Hindustan.”

Surrey Police have noted a rise in extortion attempts targeting South Asian businesses with investigations ongoing to determine if the attacks on Kap’s Cafe are linked to this broader trend. The cafe, located near a police station, reopened on July 20 after the first attack with Kapil hosting a community lunch with Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke to promote safety and solidarity.

Impact Analysis

The repeated attacks on Kap’s Cafe have sent shockwaves through the Indian diaspora and Kapil Sharma’s global fanbase.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s alleged involvement raises questions about the reach of organized crime networks and their ability to operate across borders.

For Surrey’s South Asian community, these attacks exacerbate fears of targeted extortion with businesses feeling increasingly unsafe. The lack of arrests in both incidents has fueled frustration among locals, who are demanding stronger action from law enforcement.
