SHOTS have been fired at comedian Kapil Sharma's recently opened restaurant in Canada's Surrey for the second time in less than a month, police said.

Surrey Police Service (SPS) said its officers are investigating the incident that occurred at the Newton neighbourhood business in the early hours of Thursday (7).


SPS did not name the business establishment, however, media reports said Sharma's Kap's Café was the target of the attack.

"At approximately 4.40am on August 7, 2025, SPS frontline officers responded to a report of shots fired outside a business in the 8400 block of 120 Street. The same business was the location of a similar incident on July 10, 2025," SPS said.

Police further said that the staff on the premises were not injured while multiple shots caused damage to the windows and the building.

A day after last month's attack, the café had said in an Instagram post that they were "processing the shock" but stand firm against violence.

"We opened Kap's Café 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 café said in its statement.

The café opened in Surrey, British Columbia, on July 4.

Surrey Police Service is continuing its investigation into both incidents and has not yet released information about potential suspects or motives for the attacks on the establishment.

  • Researchers warn increasingly sophisticated bots could threaten the integrity of future public consultations

Artificial intelligence bots generated more than three-quarters of responses to a UK government consultation on tobacco and vaping restrictions, in what researchers describe as the first documented instance of large-scale automated interference in a formal public health consultation.

A study published in the journal Tobacco Control found that 90,835 of the 118,756 submissions received during the 2023 consultation on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill were identified as fraudulent by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
