The police found several bullet marks on the glass windows. A Canadian journalist, Sameer Kaushal, shared a video on social media that showed the damage. The video showed at least 12 bullet marks on the glass walls of the cafe. It was a scary scene for everyone present there.

Who Claimed Responsibility for the Attack?

Soon after the firing, Harjeet Singh Laddi, a Khalistani terrorist, claimed responsibility for the attack. Laddi is a most-wanted terrorist listed by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA). He is known to be associated with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), which is a banned terrorist group.

According to sources, Laddi said that the firing was done because of one of Kapil Sharma’s past remarks. However, it is still not clear whether the attackers wanted to target the cafe itself or if it was just a threat to Kapil Sharma.

What Did the Cafe Say?

The team of Kap’s Cafe posted an emotional note on Instagram after this shocking incident. They said, “We opened Kap's Cafe with hopes of bringing warmth, community, and joy through delicious coffee and friendly conversations. To have violence intersect with that dream is heartbreaking. We are processing this shock but we are not giving up.”

The cafe also thanked all its customers and well-wishers for their support and prayers. They further wrote, “This cafe exists because of your belief in what we’re building together. Let’s stand firm against violence and ensure Kap's Cafe remains a place of warmth and community.”

What Did the Police Say About the Incident?

The Surrey Police Service (SPS) released a statement giving details about what happened. They said that their officers were called at 1:50 am for reports of shots fired. When they arrived at the cafe, they saw that the bullets had damaged the property. Luckily, no one got hurt.

The police officers searched the area, collected evidence, and checked CCTV footage to find out who was behind this attack. They said, “There is currently no suspect information available to share. Our officers are looking into possible connections with other incidents and examining the motive behind this attack.”
