Bullet marks were found on the cafe’s facade as well as on nearby residential buildings.
The area has been sealed off, and CCTV footage is being scanned.
A forensic investigation is underway.
Harjit Singh Laddi, an alleged terrorist of the banned Khalistani outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), has claimed responsibility for the attack.
He is also one of India’s most wanted men listed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
According to The Indian Express, Laddi said the attack was carried out in anger over remarks allegedly made by Sharma.
The comedian, best known for his long-running television comedy shows, has not issued a public statement so far.
Authorities are investigating whether the firing was carried out as an act of personal intimidation or part of a broader threat plan linked to pro-Khalistan extremists operating abroad.
No arrests have been made so far. Police said all leads are being pursued to identify and locate the attackers.
