In a shocking turn of events, KAP’S CAFE, a newly opened restaurant owned by popular Indian comedian Kapil Sharma, was attacked in a shooting incident in Surrey, British Columbia, on Wednesday night.

According to early reports, multiple rounds of gunfire were aimed at the cafe, but no injuries have been reported. Local police immediately arrived at the scene, sealed the area, and launched an investigation. The motive behind the attack is still under investigation, but authorities are treating it as a serious security threat.

In a major twist, Harjit Singh Laddi, a suspected Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) operative and one of India’s most wanted terrorists listed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), has reportedly claimed responsibility for the shooting. Laddi allegedly stated that he carried out the attack due to offensive remarks made by Kapil Sharma, although details about these remarks have not been confirmed.

Kapil Sharma, who is well-known for his comedy shows in India and abroad, has not yet commented on the incident.
