Kapil Sharma's security increases following Lawrence Bishnoi gang threats and Canada cafe attacks

Mumbai Police have increased security for actor-comedian Kapil Sharma following a series of alarming incidents linked to gang threats and attacks on his café in Canada. The decision comes days after two separate shootings at his Surrey-based Kap’s Café and threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang over Sharma’s association with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

The latest incident occurred on August 8, marking the second attack on the café in less than a month. In a purported video of the firing, at least 25 gunshots can be heard. A voice in the background is heard saying, “We had called the target, but he didn’t hear the ring, so we had to take action. If he still doesn’t hear the ring, the next action will be taken soon in Mumbai.”

Two criminal groups – one led by Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon and the other linked to Lawrence Bishnoi – have claimed responsibility for the attacks through social media posts. The first attack took place on July 10 when staff members were inside the café. Although no one was injured, investigators discovered around 10 bullet holes in one of the windows, with another pane shattered.

Following the second incident, a gang member identified as “Harry Boxer” issued an audio threat, warning that anyone working with Salman Khan would face dire consequences. He stated that the group was prepared to target not only prominent celebrities but also small-time actors, producers, and directors collaborating with Khan.
