Two men have been charged in connection with a shooting at a café linked to Indian comedian Kapil Sharma in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, as well as a separate attack on a residential property that left a woman injured, according to police and Canadian media reports.

The business, identified by The Canadian Press as Kap's Café, was targeted on 16 October 2025 — a date and location that matched details released by police. The café was closed at the time of the shooting, though two employees were inside; neither sustained injuries.

The Accused and Charges

Pardeep Singh and Saveer Khan, both aged 22, were arrested in Surrey on 1 November 2025 and remain in custody. British Columbia's Provincial Extortion Task Force announced the charges on Friday. Each accused faces two counts of reckless discharge of a firearm — one count per shooting incident. The charges have not been proven in court.

The Second Attack

Four days prior to the café shooting, on 12 October 2025, police responded to gunfire at a home in the 13000 block of 103A Avenue in Surrey, where a woman sustained injuries. The extortion task force assumed responsibility for both investigations after identifying possible links between the two attacks.

What Investigators Said

Chief Superintendent Duncan Pound, a senior Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer in the Lower Mainland, confirmed that the charges followed more than a year of investigative work, encompassing search warrants, judicial authorisations, and evidence analysis. 'We recognize and share the concerns these incidents created within the community,' Pound said in the police statement. He added that the case demonstrated effective cooperation among law enforcement agencies against extortion-related violence.

The task force worked alongside the Surrey Police Service and British Columbia's Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit to execute the arrests. The available police account did not specify a particular extortion demand connected to either attack, nor did it establish the accused men's nationality.

A Pattern of Violence at the Café

This was not the first time Kap's Café had come under attack. According to The Canadian Press, the establishment had been targeted in two earlier shootings before the 16 October 2025 incident. Videos reportedly filmed from the shooters' perspective circulated widely on social media following the attacks, drawing significant public attention.

British Columbia established the RCMP-led Provincial Extortion Task Force in September 2025 specifically to coordinate extortion-related investigations across the province — a response to a broader surge in organised extortion-linked violence in the region. With two men now in custody and charged, investigators will likely work to establish the full chain of command behind the attacks.
