AP Dhillon: Gunshots and Gang Threats at His Canada Residence

Gunshots Reported at AP Dhillon's Canada Home

A shooting incident was reported outside Punjabi singer and rapper AP Dhillon's house in Canada's Vancouver, sources told India Today TV. Though an official confirmation regarding the same is awaited, sources claimed that gunfire was heard near the singer's home in Victoria Island area on Sunday night. The Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang has claimed responsibility for the shootings.

Threats Linked to Recent Music Video

Notably, the attack came weeks after AP Dhillon released a music video "Old Money", featuring Salman Khan. The threat message circulating on social media claimed that on the night of September 1, the gang orchestrated shootings at two locations in Canada — one on Victoria Island and the other in Woodbridge, Toronto. The gang has also threatened AP Dhillon, referencing his alleged connections with Bollywood actor Salman Khan, and warns him to "stay within his limits, or he will meet a 'dog's death'.

Investigation Ongoing

Meanwhile, the Canadian law enforcement agencies are currently investigating the authenticity of the post and the facts surrounding the shootings. No official statement has been released by the police. In November 2023, Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility for a reported shooting incident at singer Gippy Grewal's residence in Vancouver, Canada. The alleged incident occurred in the White Rock neighbourhood.

Ongoing Gang Rivalries

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has sworn revenge against Salman ever since he was accused of hunting a blackbuck in Rajasthan in 1998. The Bishnoi tribes of Rajasthan revere the blackbuck. Last year, members of the Bishnoi gang fired warning shots outside Salman's Bandra residence in a similar fashion as in this instance outside Dhillon's house.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has revealed that Salman Khan is the top target on a list of ten individuals that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi intended to eliminate.
