A social media post claimed that the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang was responsible for the shooting, according to a report by Times Now. The post read: “On the night of September 1, shootings occurred at two locations – Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto. I, Rohit Godara of the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang, claim responsibility for both the shootings.”

The post further claimed that the Victoria Island house belongs to AP Dhillon and criticised the singer for collaborating with Bollywood star Salman Khan. The post read, “He was showing off after casting Salman Khan in his song. We came to your house; you should have come out and shown us some action. The underworld life you are copying is actually what we are living. Stay in your place or you will die like a dog,” the report said.

AP Dhillon's collaboration with Salman Khan and the Bishnoi Gang's threats against the actor

This incident follows Dhillon's recent collaboration with Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt for the song “Old Money”, which was released on August 3. Dhillon, known for his contributions to the Punjabi music industry with hits like “Brown Munde”, “Excuses” and “Majhail”, has gained considerable popularity by blending Punjabi music with hip hop and trap elements.

The Bishnoi gang has a notorious past, particularly in connection with Salman Khan. In April, shots were fired at the actor's residence in Bandra, Mumbai, narrowly missing the target. The Mumbai Police crime team and forensic experts rushed to the scene, and the Bishnoi gang later claimed responsibility for the attack. Salman Khan frequently received death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, raising concerns for his safety.
