The Surrey café owned by popular Indian celebrity Kapil Sharma has once again been targeted by gunfire, marking the third such incident since July.
Authorities from the Surrey Police Service (SPS) are currently investigating reports of multiple gunshots fired at the café located on 120 Street and 85 Avenue in the early hours of Thursday, around 3:45 a.m.
This recent shooting follows previous attacks on July 10, just a week after the café’s opening, and on August 7. During the August 7 incident, alongside gunshots, an apparent Molotov cocktail was found outside the premises, consisting of a glass bottle filled with liquid and a rag.
Fortunately, no physical injuries have been reported in any of the incidents, despite employees being present inside the café during each attack. The café resumed its operations on October 2, with additional security measures in place, including an SPS vehicle and mobile CCTV station stationed outside.
As investigations continue, police are urging anyone with information on potential extortion crimes related to these incidents to contact the SPS non-emergency line at 604-599-0522, quoting file number 25-66351, or reach out to CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing situation.
