According to reports, gunshots were reported outside a cafe adjacent to the Surrey eatery owned by comedian and television host Kapil Sharma, late on Saturday night. As per reports, this incident might be linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This incident has triggered security concerns over Indian-origin businesses in Canada, sparking concern regarding the safety of the comedian, and has become viral over social media.

According to social media reports, the viral post was allegedly shared from a Facebook account named Tyson Bishnoi Jora Sidhu, which claims that both Kapil Sharma and the cafe owner have received death threats. It further claims that the gang warned Sharma to “fall in line,” alleging that he is wasting their time, and hinted that his cafe could face similar consequences if he does not comply. This incident is said to have taken place in Surrey, British Columbia, near a “Chai Sutta Bar” outlet, which is located close to Kapil Sharma’s cafe. However, these claims couldn’t be confirmed and hence don’t guarantee authenticity.

According to reports from The Indian Express, “No injuries were reported in the incident, which took place at Chai Sutta Bar on 120 Street in Surrey, directly next to Kap’s Cafe. Videos circulating on social media purportedly showed multiple rounds being fired outside the premises while staff and patrons were inside. The Surrey Police responded to the scene, though an official statement detailing the circumstances of the firing or any arrests was awaited.”

 

However, the comedian, Kapil Sharma, has not made any official statement on this incident. Following earlier attacks, Sharma and his team have stated that they would still be continuing operations at the cafe, saying they would not be intimidated by repeated acts of violence.
