Key Suspect In Kapil Sharma’s Surrey Cafe Shootings Arrested In Punjab, Previously Charged By Peel Police in Canada

Delhi Police have arrested Bandhuman Sekhon, a key suspect linked to the triple firing incidents at comedian Kapil Sharma’s cafe in Surrey, British Columbia. The cafe, launched in July, faced attacks on three occasions: shortly after opening, on August 7, and again on October 16. The latest arrest adds a new layer to an already complex cross-border case.

Bandhuman Sekhon is reportedly connected to the Goldy Dhillon gang. Authorities in Delhi apprehended him in Ludhiana, recovering a Chinese pistol and cartridges. Police sources described Sekhon as a major operative in orchestrating attacks for the gang, which has a history of violent offences both in India and abroad.

New details reveal that Sekhon was previously arrested in Canada last year by the Peel Regional Police Extortion Investigative Task Force. He, along with several others, faced charges in Brampton related to criminal activity. It remains unclear whether he was released on bail, deported, or fled the country, a matter that Peel Police or Canadian authorities could clarify.

Kapil Sharma addressed the attacks on Wednesday. He confirmed that the café was targeted three times and noted challenges faced by law enforcement in Canada. “Three times firing happened there. Maybe, I think, given the rules there, the police probably don’t have enough power to control such things. But, after that, when this case happened, it was taken to the federal level. Just like we have a central government here, it was discussed in the Canadian Parliament. I think we don’t understand the story behind what God does…” he said.

The arrest of Sekhon in Ludhiana is expected to assist ongoing investigations in both India and Canada, helping authorities piece together the gang’s network and its involvement in cross-border criminal activities. The case continues to draw attention as law enforcement agencies work to hold those responsible accountable.
