In a shocking incident, shots were fired at a restaurant reportedly owned by popular Indian comedian and actor Kapil Sharma in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The incident took place earlier this week, prompting a swift response from local law enforcement authorities, who have since launched a full-scale investigation into the matter.
The Surrey Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that no injuries were reported during the gunfire, which occurred outside the restaurant during non-business hours. The exterior of the establishment suffered minor damage, and bullet casings were recovered from the scene. As of now, no suspects have been identified or apprehended.
While the motive behind the attack remains unclear, early speculation suggests it could be linked to extortion threats or gang-related activities in the area. Law enforcement agencies have not ruled out any possibilities and are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the vicinity and speaking to potential witnesses.
Kapil Sharma, a well-known household name in India, is yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. The comedian has a massive fan following and had expanded his brand presence internationally with the launch of this restaurant, catering primarily to the Indian diaspora in Canada.
