Shots Fired Outside Singer AP Dhillon’s Residence in Vancouver, Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Claims Responsibility
This incident follows closely on the heels of Dhillon's recent music video release for "Old Money," which features Bollywood star Salman Khan.
A shooting outside the residence of Punjabi singer and rapper AP Dhillon in Vancouver has raised significant concerns, according to sources. While official confirmation is pending, reports indicate that gunfire was heard near Dhillon’s home in the Victoria Island area late Sunday night.
Initial investigations suggest that the Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang is behind the shooting. This incident follows closely on the heels of Dhillon’s recent music video release for “Old Money,” which features Bollywood star Salman Khan.
The connection between this attack and Khan is particularly notable. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has long harbored a vendetta against Khan, stemming from a 1998 incident in which Khan was accused of hunting a blackbuck—a species revered by the Bishnoi community in Rajasthan. The gang’s animosity was previously demonstrated when they fired warning shots outside Khan’s residence in Bandra last year, echoing the recent events at Dhillon’s home.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has disclosed that Salman Khan is among the top targets on a list compiled by the incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The gang’s ongoing threats against Khan highlight a broader pattern of intimidation and violence linked to their longstanding grievances.
This shooting underscores the dangerous intersection of celebrity and gang-related violence, casting a spotlight on the escalating threats faced by high-profile individuals. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to determine the full extent of the gang’s activities and their implications for public safety.
