Singer AP Dhillon
In a shocking incident, shots were fired outside the Vancouver residence of popular Punjabi singer and rapper AP Dhillon. The shooting is believed to be the work of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has recently been linked to several high-profile incidents.
According to reports, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Rohit Godara, has claimed responsibility for the attack. In a post circulating on social media, he boasted about the firing at two locations in Canada—Victoria Island, where AP Dhillon`s house is located, and Woodbridge, Toronto.
The gang had reportedly issued a stern warning to the singer, threatening him to "stay within his limits, or he will meet a dog`s death." This was in reference to AP Dhillon`s connections with the Ek Tha Tiger hero. The shooting incident occurred just weeks after the release of AP Dhillon’s latest music video, “Old Money,” which features Salman Khan.
The motive behind the attack appears to be linked to AP Dhillon’s association with Salman Khan. Rohit Godara, in his purported post, claimed that the firing was carried out because AP Dhillon featured Salman Khan in his music video. This connection has raised alarms, given the gang`s previous threats against Salman Khan. It was also reported that the gang issued death threats to AP Dhillon in the same post.

Police officials later disclosed that Lawrence Bishnoi`s brother, Anmol Vishnoi, played a crucial role in planning and executing the attack on Khan.
