Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe in Surrey, Canada was attacked by Khalistani terrorists for allegedly mocking Nihang Sikhs on his show. No injuries reported. Surrey Police investigating.
Surrey, Canada – July 11, 2025: What started as a dream project for one of India’s most beloved comedians has now turned into a disturbing headline. Just a few days after it opened its doors, Kapil Sharma’s café in Canada was hit by gunfire—a targeted act that authorities say was carried out by Khalistani terrorists angry over a joke on his comedy show.
🎙️ A Joke That Turned Into a Flashpoint
According to Harjit Singh Laddi—a wanted Khalistani terrorist affiliated with the banned Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)—the shooting was in retaliation for a segment on The Kapil Sharma Show, where a character was seen wearing Nihang Sikh attire and joking about traditional practices. While such comedy sketches are common on Indian television, Laddi claimed the portrayal was offensive and hurt religious sentiments.
In a now-viral social media post, Laddi claimed responsibility for the firing at Kap’s Cafe, saying that he and another BKI-linked individual, Toofan Singh, were behind it. His message read:
“No religion or spiritual identity can be mocked under the guise of comedy. Several calls were made to Sharma’s manager for an apology. None were answered.”
Laddi is no ordinary troll. He’s a designated terrorist under Canadian and Indian law and features prominently on India’s National Investigation Agency’s most-wanted list.
🏚️ The Attack: What Happened That Night
The incident took place in the early hours of Thursday, July 10, just six days after Kap’s Cafe launched in Surrey. According to Surrey Police, they received a call at 1:50 a.m. about shots being fired at a business on 120 Street.
“The shots were fired towards the business, damaging the property, while staff members were still present inside,” said Surrey Police Service in an official statement.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported. But the emotional toll is significant — especially for the café team, which was still riding high on the excitement of a grand opening.
🫱 A Dream Café Meets A Harsh Reality
In an emotional note posted on Instagram, Kap’s Cafe broke its silence, saying the incident had shaken them but not broken their spirit:
“We opened Kap’s Cafe with hopes of bringing warmth, community, and joy through delicious coffee and friendly conversation. To have violence intersect with that dream is heartbreaking… We are processing this shock, but we are not giving up.”
The message ended with hope:
“Thank you for your support. See you soon, under better skies.”
🧵 Who Are The Nihang Sikhs — And Why Did It Matter?
At the heart of this controversy lies the Nihang Sikh community — a distinct sect of Sikh warriors known for their deep-rooted traditions, blue robes, and martial history. While many Sikhs see the Nihangs as defenders of the faith, their portrayal in media can be controversial, especially among those with strict or radical views.
Laddi claimed that mocking their conduct crossed a line — one that, in his words, demanded consequences.
But critics argue that a joke, however misplaced, should never be met with gunfire, especially in a democratic country like Canada, where freedom of speech is protected and violence is never the answer.
🤐 Kapil Sharma: Silent, For Now
As of Friday evening, Kapil Sharma has not issued any public statement about the incident. Those close to the comedian say he’s “shocked and distressed,” but is prioritizing the safety of his staff and collaborators.
The silence has sparked debate on social media, with some calling for an apology and others standing firmly by Sharma’s right to artistic expression.
🌐 The Bigger Picture: When Comedy Meets Extremism
What began as a light-hearted sketch has now spiraled into an international terrorism investigation. The attack has raised serious concerns about the reach of Khalistani extremists in Canada, and more broadly, about how cultural sensitivity, freedom of expression, and security collide in a globalized world.
The fact that a comedian’s café could become the target of such violence is troubling. Even more disturbing is that Canada—home to large Indian and Sikh communities—is witnessing growing tensions linked to separatist ideologies from back home.
Indian officials have long expressed frustration with Canada’s handling of Khalistani groups, claiming that too often, terror-linked individuals operate freely under the banner of “activism.”
👀 What Happens Now?
The Surrey Police Service has confirmed that an investigation is underway. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage, ballistic evidence, and digital communications tied to Laddi and his associates. Coordination with Indian intelligence agencies is expected, given the international nature of the attack.
Meanwhile, the Kapil Sharma’s Kaps café remains closed, its future uncertain—but its team resolute.
🔚 In Closing
The shooting at Kap’s Cafe isn’t just about a comedian, a joke, or even a single extremist group. It reflects the delicate balance between expression and respect, between tradition and modernity, and between freedom and fanaticism.
Whether or not Kapil Sharma apologizes, one thing is clear: no joke deserves bullets, and no café should be caught in the crossfire of ideology.
