On the night of July 9, 2025, someone opened fire on Kap's Café in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The restaurant was owned by famous Indian comic Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni Chatrath. The event left several bullet holes on the outside of the house, but luckily, no one was hurt.
The police start an investigation and find bullet casings.
When police in the area heard about the shooting, they reacted quickly and have since started a thorough investigation. At the scene, bullet casings were found, and CCTV tape is being looked at to find the suspects. A video that went viral showed someone in a mask firing multiple shots at the business from a moving car.
Harjit Singh Laddi claims responsibility for the alleged Khalistani link.
In shocking news, Harjit Singh Laddi, a wanted Khalistani extremist and part of Babbar Khalsa International, said he was behind the attack. Laddi said that the shooting happened because Sharma was accused of making rude comments about the Nihang Sikh community. The police are still looking into this angle, but they haven't confirmed this motivation yet.
Kapil Sharma Still to Say
Kapil Sharma has not made a public statement about what happened. The café, which opened to a lot of excitement not long ago, was meant to give fans and food lovers in Canada a high-end eating experience.
Concerns about security and political effects
This attack makes people even more worried about extremist actions coming out of Canada. Harjit Laddi is already wanted in India for a number of high-profile crimes, such as the death of a VHP leader in 2024. The incident is expected to put more diplomatic pressure on Canada to crack down on groups from Khalistan that are using its land, as claimed.
No deaths, but high alert
People in Surrey and the Indian community are very upset about what happened, even though no one was hurt. The café is still closed while the investigation goes on, and people are being asked by police to share any information that might be useful.
