NEW DELHI: Comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe in Surrey, Canada, was attacked for the third time on Thursday as unidentified gunmen fired multiple shots at the restaurant.

Kulvir Sidhu, said to be linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's network, reportedly claimed responsibility in a viral social media post, warning the "general public" to stay away.

According to City News Vancouver, the Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating reports of gunfire at Kap’s Café, located on 85 Avenue and 120 Street, around 3.45 am.

Videos circulating online showed multiple bullets hitting the cafe's walls and windows. A clip reportedly shot from inside a vehicle, captured a man sticking his arm out of the window and firing at least half-a-dozen shots from a handgun. TOI could not independently verify the video’s authenticity.


Staff were reportedly inside the café during the shooting, but no one was injured. Kapil Sharma and his team have not yet issued a statement.

Kap's Café was previously targeted on July 10 and August 8.


Shortly after Thursday's shooting, a post attributed to Goldy Dhillon surfaced, reportedly stating, "Today's firing at Caps Cafe, Surrey, was carried out by me, Kulvir Sidhu, and Goldy Dhillon. We hold no grudge against the general public."

"Those who owe us or cheat us will be warned. Bollywood individuals who speak against our religion should also be prepared, bullets can come from anywhere," the post added.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang had earlier claimed responsibility for the second attack in August as well. A widely circulated post allegedly by Goldy Dhillon read in Hindi, "Aaj jo Kapil Sharma ke Kap's Café, Surrey mein firing hui hai, iski zimmedari Goldy Dhillon te Lawrence Bishnoi gang leti hai... next karwai jald hi Mumbai mein karenge."

("Goldy Dhillon and Lawrence Bishnoi gang take responsibility for today's firing at Kap’s Café in Surrey. The next action will soon take place in Mumbai.")

Earlier, on July 9, a shooter wearing a body camera opened fire at the café while recording the incident. Germany-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) extremist Harjeet Singh Laddi later claimed responsibility for that attack.

The Bishnoi gang has reportedly targeted celebrities over the years, including actor Salman Khan, with attacks on his Galaxy Apartment last year.

Kap’s Café is located in a mixed-use building in Surrey’s Newton area, with retail outlets on the ground floor and residential apartments above.

Police cordoned off the site while collecting evidence, even as children played nearby at a local daycare, highlighting the danger posed to families and the public.
