Kap's Café in Surrey, owned by Indian comedian Kapil Sharma, was the target of one of two extortion-related shootings that have now led to arrests, according to the RCMP.

Two people have been arrested and charged in connection with the two separate shootings, which took place in Surrey in 2025, Vancouver Is Awesome and the Vancouver Sun reported. One of those reports describes the two as men.

The case matters to Metro Vancouver residents because the shootings happened in Surrey, and because police have tied both to extortion rather than describing them as random violence.

The charges are allegations that have not been tested in court, and the accused are presumed innocent.
