According to CityNews Vancouver, the Surrey Police Service (SPS) responded to reports of shots fired around 3:45 a.m. at the café located near 85 Avenue and 120 Street. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the incident has reignited concerns about safety and criminal activity targeting South Asian businesses in the region.
Authorities confirmed that associates of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi have claimed responsibility for the attacks. Police investigations are ongoing to determine the motive and identify the perpetrators.
The café, which opened on July 4, has been repeatedly targeted since its inauguration. The first attack occurred less than a week later, on July 10, followed by a second shooting on August 7.

After a temporary closure, the restaurant reopened earlier this month, determined to continue business despite the threats.
Residents and patrons have expressed growing unease. “It’s frightening that something like this keeps happening,” said a local resident. “We just hope the police can stop whoever is behind it before someone gets hurt.”
The SPS has urged anyone with information to come forward and has increased surveillance in the area. Meanwhile, the attacks have prompted discussions on the need for stronger protection for public figures and their businesses in Canada’s South Asian community.
