There was a shooting at Kapil Sharma new cafe, “Kap’s Cafe,” in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, on the night of July 9, 2025.
Here’s a breakdown of what happened:
What Happened?
Someone fired several gunshots at the cafe and nearby buildings, but luckily, no one was hurt.
Who is Responsible?
Harjit Singh Laddi, believed to be a member of the banned Khalistani group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and wanted in India, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Why Did it Happen?
Laddi reportedly stated that he attacked the cafe because of comments Kapil Sharma had made before, but the police have not shared what those comments were.
What’s Next?
Canadian police quickly sealed off the area and started investigating, looking for clues and checking security camera footage. Indian intelligence agencies are also keeping a close eye on the situation due to the potential for Khalistani-related violence outside India.
Kapil Sharma’s Response
So far, Kapil Sharma hasn’t publicly addressed the incident. His wife, Ginni Chatrath, who also helps run the cafe, had recently thanked customers for their support.
