In a shocking incident, shots were reportedly fired outside the Vancouver home of popular Punjabi singer AP Dhillon on September 1. Rohit Godara, a member of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, who had also made death threats against the singer, claimed responsibility for the incident.

The gunshots were heard in the Victoria Island area of ​​Vancouver, where AP Dhillon's residence is located. A viral video, which has not been verified, shows a man firing several shots outside a house at night, raising concerns about the singer's safety. There has been no official statement from the Canadian police or Dhillon himself on the incident.

In a purported social media post, Rohit Godara, who is allegedly linked to Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the firing. He stated that the shots were fired outside Dhillon's house in retaliation for the singer's appearance in his recent music video with Bollywood star Salman Khan. Godara, who is also accused of being involved in the murders of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022 and Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena leader Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi in 2023, has made similar threats against AP Dhillon.

Godara's post also mentions a second location in Canada – Woodbridge, Toronto – where he claimed to have committed another shooting. Security authorities are currently verifying these claims and analyzing the video evidence.

AP Dhillon, known for his hits like 'Brown Munde', 'Excuses' and 'Insane', has found global recognition with his unique blend of 80s-style synth-pop and Punjabi music. His latest song 'Old Money' featuring Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt seems to have elicited Godara's strong reaction.

This is not the first time that people linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang have targeted celebrities. In November last year, a shooting reportedly took place at singer Gippy Grewal's Vancouver home, for which Bishnoi claimed responsibility. In April, two assailants on motorcycles opened fire outside Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai. Lawrence Bishnoi and his younger brother Anmol Bishnoi were declared “wanted accused” in connection with the incident.

There is a long-standing enmity between the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and Salman Khan, mainly due to the actor's involvement in the 1998 stag hunting case that enraged the Bishnoi community.

Canadian police are yet to issue a statement on the recent shooting outside AP Dhillon's house. Meanwhile, security agencies are thoroughly investigating Godara's claims and ensuring the safety of those involved. The incident has raised alarm in the entertainment industry and highlighted the ongoing threat posed by criminal elements such as the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
