Punjabi rapper AP Dhillon's house and vehicles damaged in shooting on Vancouver Island

THE Media reports that the Vancouver Island home of Punjabi rapper AP Dhillon (Amritpal Singh Dhillon) was apparently attacked by a gunman shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday.

The video of the shooting went viral on social media. It was apparently recorded by a companion of the shooter and posted as a warning, as has been the case in the past with similar shootings involving Punjabi singers in Canada.

A pickup truck and another vehicle were found ablaze in the driveway of the Colwood home. There were bullet holes in a window of the home and the garage door was damaged.

A neighbor told media she called 911 to report the incident.

Police did not provide any information about the shooting.

There is also speculation that the shooting may be linked to the numerous extortion cases of South Asian businessmen and wealthy individuals that are plaguing the South Asian communities in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. The extortion is said to be linked to powerful criminal gangs in India that use South Asian gangsters in Canada.

IN THE MEANTIME, The Times of India reported that notorious Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's right-hand man Rohit Godara wrote in a social media post: “Greetings to all brothers. On the night of September 1, we carried out shootouts at two locations in Canada – Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto. I, Rohit Godara (Lawrence Bishnoi Group), take responsibility for this act.”

He added: “The house on Victoria Island belongs to AP Dhillon. [Bollywood superstar] Salman Khan is in your songs and you flaunt your exploits. The life of the underworld you are emulating is the life we ​​lead. Stay in your place or you will meet a dog's death.”

Last April, two suspects fired shots outside Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai, and police there declared Lawrence Bishnoi and his younger brother Anmol Bishnoi as “wanted accused” in connection with the incident, according to Indian media.
