Shots Fired at Kapil Sharma's Kap's Cafe for 3rd Time in 4 months, Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Claims Responsibility
Kapil Sharma’s Canadian café, Kap’s Cafe, was reportedly attacked by gunfire for a third time in four months—this time with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility. While no casualties were reported, fear and speculation have mounted over the motive, the link to Bollywood, and the safety of the comedian and his business.
The Third Strike: What Happened This Time
In Surrey, British Columbia, on October 15, 2025, gunshots were reportedly fired toward Kap’s Cafe—marking its third attack in a span of four months. The premises sustained visible damage (broken glass, bullet marks), though staffers were unharmed. Local authorities have launched investigations, trying to piece together evidence and motives behind the recurrent violence.
What compounds concern is that this time, Goldy Dhillon and Kuldeep Sidhu, among others tied to the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate, have claimed credit via social media channels.
Pattern of Violence: A Timeline
1. First attack (July 10, 2025) – Shots were fired just days after the café opened. No casualties, but windows shattered. The militant group Babbar Khalsa International and operative Harjeet Singh Laddi claimed responsibility, citing religious sentiments over jokes about Nihang Sikhs.
2. Second attack (August 7, 2025) – Over 25 bullets, again no injuries. In an audio clip, gang member “Harry Boxer” blamed Kapil’s association with Salman Khan and warned entertainment industry workers.
3. Third attack (October 15, 2025) – Current incident; Bishnoi-linked actors claim orchestration.
The Alleged Motive: Bollywood, Blackbucks & Resentment
Much of the chatter has centered on the Salman Khan connection. In past threats, Bishnoi gang associates have emphasized their antagonism toward Khan—rooted in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, a long-standing grievance against the Bollywood star.
In the August audio clip, Harry Boxer is heard warning:
“Any actor, producer or director who works with Salman Khan will be shot in the chest.”
Kapil’s invitation to Salman for his show’s launch has been flagged as a trigger by attackers.
What’s Next: Security, Diplomacy & Designation
In light of the repeated attacks, Kapil Sharma’s security in Mumbai has reportedly been reinforced. Meanwhile, Canadian opposition leaders are pushing to label the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terrorist organization and freeze its assets within Canadian jurisdiction.
The saga continues: police in both Canada and India must untangle claims, motives, and real threats behind the gunfire—and ensure that Kap’s Cafe remains a place of warmth, not violence.
