Lawrence Bishnoi gang targets Canadian businessman’s restaurant after firing at Kapil Sharma’s cafe

In a brazen escalation of violence, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang struck again in Canada, unleashing gunfire at a local businessman’s restaurant in Brampton mere hours after the third attack on comedian Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe in Surrey. The back-to-back incidents, both occurring on Thursday, underscore the gang’s intensifying campaign of intimidation amid their designation as a terrorist organization by the Canadian government.

The sequence began in the early hours with the Surrey assault. Around 3:45 a.m., officers from the Surrey Police Service (SPS) rushed to the 8400 block of 120 Street in the Newton area after reports of shots fired. They discovered multiple bullet holes riddling the facade of Kap’s Cafe, where staff were present but escaped unharmed. The SPS Frontline Investigative Support Team and the Integrated Forensic Identification Service quickly mobilized to process the scene. “The incident is still under investigation,” the police stated, declining to speculate on motives but noting similarities to prior hits.

This marks the third such brazen hit on the eatery since its July 4 debut. The inaugural attack came swiftly on July 10, followed by another in the predawn hours of August 7 that shattered windows and scarred the structure—yet again, no one was hurt. Kap’s Cafe had only just resumed operations earlier this month, drawing renewed scrutiny over possible extortion ties, though SPS has stopped short of confirming as much.

As the dust settled in Surrey, the violence pivoted northward. In Brampton, assailants unleashed a volley at the unnamed businessman’s establishment, prompting a swift claim of responsibility from Goldy Dhillon, a key figure in the Bishnoi network. Dhillon, who also owned the Kapil Sharma cafe episode, posted a chilling message: “We do not have any financial matter with this person, but he needed to teach some manners. This is just a trailer, and the actual film may see him losing his life.” He tied the barrage to the target’s “recent remarks,” framing it as a lesson in decorum rather than a cash grab.

Accompanying the declaration was a stark video from the gang, capturing two figures in shadowy garb unleashing rounds from a handgun at the restaurant. The footage, circulating widely, amplifies the threat’s audacity.

Since Ottawa’s terrorist label on the Bishnoi outfit, the group has orchestrated a string of shootings across Canadian soil, from urban enclaves to suburban strips. These latest volleys—no fatalities, but palpable peril—signal no letup. Authorities in both Brampton and Surrey are probing links, bracing for what Dhillon ominously dubbed the “actual film.” For now, the cafe’s resilient owner and the rattled restaurateur stand as stark symbols of a chilling transnational feud.
