Kapil Sharma’s Mumbai Home Visited by Police After Canada Café Firing: Here’s What We Know

Mumbai | July 11, 2025 — In a surprising turn of events following a shocking gunfire incident at comedian Kapil Sharma’s newly opened café in Canada, a team of Mumbai Police visited the celebrity’s residence in Oshiwara, Mumbai, on Friday. The visit occurred just a day after shots were fired at Kap’s Café, located in Surrey, British Columbia.

While the visit by police immediately raised concerns among fans and media, senior officials have clarified that the purpose of the visit was routine — to confirm Kapil Sharma’s address. No formal statement was recorded, and there has been no change in security arrangements around the building.

“Police personnel visited DLH Enclave building in Oshiwara, a day after the firing at his restaurant in Canada. The team left the place in some time after confirming the address,” a senior Mumbai Police official was quoted as saying by PTI.
 

Gunfire at Kapil Sharma’s Café in Canada
 

The incident that triggered the visit took place in the early hours of Thursday, July 10, when multiple gunshots were fired at Kap’s Café, the newly launched eatery owned by Sharma. The café is situated near the border of Surrey and Delta in the province of British Columbia, Canada. It had only recently opened its doors to the public on July 4.

According to an official statement released by the Surrey Police Service (SPS), officers were dispatched at 1:50 AM local time to the café after receiving reports of shots being fired at the business premises.

“Upon police arrival, it was quickly determined that the shots were fired towards the business, damaging the property, while staff members were still present inside,” the SPS said.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the incident has left staff and supporters deeply shaken.
 

A Dream Project Touched by Violence

Kap’s Café was envisioned as a warm, community-driven space that brought together food, coffee, and conversation — something Kapil Sharma himself has long been passionate about. The establishment had been gaining attention both locally in Canada and among Indian fans abroad.

Following the firing, the café’s team released a heartfelt statement on Instagram, calling the attack “heartbreaking.”

“We opened Kap’s Cafe with hopes of bringing warmth, community, and joy through delicious coffee and friendly conversation. To have violence intersect with that dream is heartbreaking,” the post read.

“We are processing this shock but we are not giving up,” they added, thanking followers for their prayers and support.

The post went on to urge people to stand against violence and continue supporting the dream that inspired Kap’s Café. “This café exists because of your belief in what we’re building together,” it read.

No Security Escalation at Kapil Sharma’s Mumbai Residence
 

Despite concerns, there is no official report suggesting any security threat to Kapil Sharma in India. The Mumbai Police's visit was not to investigate any threat but rather to complete procedural formalities, officials said.

“No statement has been recorded, and the building’s security level remains unchanged,” confirmed an Oshiwara police officer.

Kapil Sharma himself has not yet commented on the incident. However, close sources indicate that he is in touch with his café’s management team and is being updated on the situation.

Investigation Ongoing in Canada
 

Canadian authorities are actively investigating the shooting. As per reports from the Surrey Police, CCTV footage from the vicinity is being examined, and witness statements are being collected.

The motive behind the firing remains unclear at this point. However, law enforcement in British Columbia has not ruled out targeted vandalism or extortion, possibilities that have become increasingly common among Indian-owned businesses in the region.

The police have asked anyone with information to come forward, and increased patrolling has been deployed near the 8400 block of 120 Street where the café is located.

Growing Concern Over Safety of Indian Establishments Abroad

The firing incident has reignited concerns about the safety of Indian business owners, especially in Canada, where several reports of violence and extortion against South Asian entrepreneurs have emerged in recent years. The Indian diaspora has been calling for more robust security measures and quicker investigations.

Kapil Sharma, one of India’s most beloved entertainers, is the latest public figure to be indirectly affected by such violence. Though he was not present during the incident and lives in India, the fact that his property was targeted raises concerns for celebrities and entrepreneurs alike who are investing in international ventures.

What’s Next?
 

For now, both Indian and Canadian authorities are treating the incident with caution. The Mumbai Police has not announced any plans for further action unless additional information emerges. Meanwhile, Surrey Police Service continues its probe in Canada.

Support has been pouring in for Kapil Sharma and his café staff on social media, with fans expressing shock, solidarity, and resilience.

One fan wrote on Instagram, “Violence has no place in our community. Stay strong, Kapil. We’re with you.”

As investigations continue, the hope is that this unfortunate event will not deter the vision behind Kap’s Café — a space that aimed to connect people over shared stories, laughter, and coffee.
