On Thursday, August 7, 2025, comedian and actor Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe in Surrey, Canada, was the target of a second fire incident in as many months, which alarmed both locals and fans. According to Vancouver City News, the cafe, which is situated at 85 Avenue and Scott Road, was the scene of many gunshots early on Thursday, August 7, 2025. At around 4:40 a.m., Surrey Police Service (SPS) officers arrived on the scene. Despite the fact that employees were on the property when the incident occurred, no injuries were recorded. However, authorities have yet to determine the attack’s motivation. The public has been invited to help with the inquiry since the event. The sound of gunfire startled the locals to wakefulness. Bob Singh, a local resident, told City News’ 1130 NewsRadio, “I witnessed it from my patio. I heard around five or six bullets fired before the police arrived. Michelle Gaucher, another resident, stated, “Eight gunshots—not fireworks—woke us up. After that, I heard sirens nearby and got up with the dogs. The distance between it and the location of the Kap’s Cafe explosion a few weeks prior was the same.
As of now, Kapil Sharma and his group have not released a statement. A social media message purportedly made by mobster Goldy Dhillon went viral a few hours after the shooting, claiming responsibility. “Aaj jo Kapil Sharma ke Kap’s Cafe, Surrey mein firing hui hai, iski zimmedari Goldy Dhillon te Lawrence Bishnoi gang leti hai… next karwai jald hi Mumbai mein karenge,” the post said. Both Goldy Dhillon and Lawrence Bishnoi gang accept responsibility for today’s firing at Kap’s Cafe in Surrey; we will now carry out this action in Mumbai next. Although the report has not been independently verified, it has alarmed admirers. Allegedly, Goldy Dhillon is connected to the network of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Following the announcement, Kapil’s supporters voiced their worries on social media. “What’s wrong with comedian Kapil Sharma? Why he is being targeted by the gang,” an X user said. Another person commented, “This is too shocking,” This event at Kap’s Cafe is the second of its kind. Days after the outlet’s debut, in the second week of July, at least nine shots were fired at it by an unnamed individual.
After the earlier incident, the cafe had been closed for ten days. “We opened Kap’s Cafe with hopes of bringing warmth, community, and joy through delicious coffee and friendly conversation,” the cafe wrote in a social media statement following its reopening. It is devastating to have that dream intersect with violence. We are not giving up, even if we are still processing this shock. In order to maintain the café as a representation of “warmth and community” for its patrons, the establishment had declared that it would remain “firm” in the face of the violence. The cafe had shared a video of Surrey Police Service officers visiting the establishment just days prior to the most recent incident.
