Two youths have been charged in connection with firing at comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe and shooting at a house in Surrey, Canada.

According to the British Columbia Provincial Extortion Task Force, the accused have been identified as 22-year-old Pardeep Singh and 22-year-old Sabeer Khan. Police arrested both from Surrey on November 1 and they remain in custody.

Both youths have been charged with two counts each of careless discharge of a firearm. The task force made these arrests in collaboration with the Surrey Police Service and the British Columbia Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.

According to officials, Kapil Sharma's 'Caps Cafe' was targeted on October 16, 2025. The cafe was closed at the time and two employees inside escaped unhurt. Prior to this incident, the cafe had been fired upon twice before.

Four days prior to this incident, on October 12, shots were also fired at a house located on 103A Avenue in Surrey, injuring a woman. Police launched a joint investigation after establishing a link between the two incidents.

RCMP senior official Chief Superintendent Duncan Pound stated that these charges were laid following over a year of investigation, execution of search warrants, and review of evidence. He said various investigative agencies worked together to take this action.

Police stated that the charges filed currently pertain to the shooting incidents, and no specific extortion demand or the citizenship of the accused has been confirmed yet.

Nothing has yet been proved in court.
