Rumours regarding an alleged firing incident outside comedian Kapil Sharma’s house in Amritsar created panic on social media after several posts claimed that unidentified bike-borne attackers had opened fire near his residence. The claims spread rapidly across different platforms, with many users sharing the information without verification.

Punjab Police later issued an official clarification and termed the viral reports completely false. In a statement shared by Commissionerate Police Amritsar on social media platform X, police said that “some irresponsible persons are spreading rumours regarding an alleged firing incident outside the house of Kapil Sharma in Amritsar.”

The police further stated that an official video statement was being released to clarify the facts and requested people not to pay attention to rumours or misinformation circulating online. Authorities appealed to citizens to trust only verified updates issued through official channels.

Canada Cafe Firing Linked To Rumours

The fake reports gained traction mainly because Kapil Sharma’s café in Canada had previously been targeted in firing incidents. Earlier reports regarding shootings outside the café premises had already attracted significant public attention, and social media users linked those incidents with the fresh rumours from Amritsar.

However, police officials made it clear that there was no firing outside the comedian’s Punjab residence, and no such security incident had been reported in the area.

Police Monitoring Viral Posts

Sources said police and cyber teams are monitoring social media activity connected to the fake news. Officials warned that strict action may be taken against those found spreading false information capable of creating panic or disturbing public order.

The incident once again highlights how quickly misinformation spreads on social media platforms, especially when linked to celebrities or high-profile personalities. Police have urged people not to forward unverified videos, messages or claims without checking official facts first.

Appeal To Public

Punjab Police has appealed to citizens to act responsibly online and avoid sharing sensational claims without confirmation. Officials stressed that misinformation can create unnecessary fear and confusion among the public.

Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma or his family have not issued any separate statement regarding the rumours so far.
