Surrey, Canada | August 9, 2025 – Kapil Sharma, a TV show host who projects himself as a comedian, has reportedly become the latest target of the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate, following a shooting incident at his restaurant, Kap’s Cafe, in Surrey, Canada. This event underscores a disturbing connection between the entertainment industry and organized crime and occurs amidst ongoing threats against Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

On Thursday, August 7, multiple shots were reportedly fired at Kap’s Cafe around 4:30 AM. At least six of the 9-10 shots struck the walls and windows of the cafe, though fortunately, no one was injured. Reports indicate that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang swiftly claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident marks the second shooting at Kap’s Cafe within a month, with a previous attack on July 9 reportedly claimed by Germany-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi.

According to an audio clip that surfaced, Harry Boxer (Harichand), an aide of the Bishnoi gang and a fugitive operating from the United States, asserted that Sharma was targeted because he had invited Salman Khan on the inaugural episode of his Netflix show. 

Boxer issued a stark warning: “If anyone works with Salman, whether a small-time actor or a small-time director, we will not spare them. We will kill them. We will go to any extent necessary to kill them”. 

He also threatened to “ruin the atmosphere of Mumbai” and stated the gang would now use AK-47s against their targets. A social media post from Goldy Dhillon, a close aide of Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, also claimed responsibility, stating the shooting occurred because Sharma “reportedly did not answer their call,” and warned of a “next operation” in Mumbai.

The Bishnoi gang’s animosity towards Salman Khan is long-standing. They have been pursuing Khan for years, with past attempts including:

• Firing shots at his Galaxy Apartment.
• Conducting a reconnaissance of his Panvel farmhouse.
• The gang was also linked to the shooting death of Khan’s friend, former state minister Baba Siddiqui, in Bandra on October 12, 2024.
• In April, Salman Khan himself received a fresh death threat via a WhatsApp message to the Mumbai Police traffic department, leading to a registered case. The police traced that threat to a 25-year-old man in Gujarat, who claimed to be mentally unstable and inspired by news of Lawrence Bishnoi’s threats.

Beyond the conflict, Kapil Sharma’s programs, including The Kapil Sharma Show, are described as “vulgar TV shows” where Sharma uses “very lewd language and guests laugh unnecessarily”.

It is believed that the audience is hired, and guests, such as retired Punjab politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, laugh loudly to create the impression of a comedy show, while “little-known artists are reportedly paid for artificial laughter”. 

Educated observers state that “actually, there is no comedy in these so-called comedy shows”. Some “tired and retired Bollywood actors and other self-styled celebrities are enticed to appear on the show for easy income,” similar to their participation in private events like birthday parties or shop inaugurations.

The report further suggests that a large number of Indians (more than 90%) are either illiterate or semi-literate who “do not understand the content-quality concept,” which is cited as the reason they watch “cheap Bollywood movies and vulgar TV shows such as Sharma’s”.

RMN News – which originally published this story – stated that it “cannot independently confirm the alleged shooters who reportedly attacked Kapil Sharma’s restaurant or who issued threats to him or Salman Khan”.
