Shooting takes place at AP Dhillon’s Vancouver house, Lawrence Bishnoi takes credit
Bishnoi harbours a deep-seated grudge against Salman Khan who was found guilty of illegally hunting blackbucks, an animal revered by the Bishnoi community.
The most recent shooting occurred at the Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s house in Vancouver, which has caused concern recently due to the event after the collaboration with Bollywood actor Salman Khan. The shooting took place on September 1, 2024, and was allegedly done by Rohit Godara who is associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that has previously threatened celebrities.
Initial investigations and testimonies point to the fact that the shooting was deliberate and not a spree. The video of the attack is available and is being investigated to determine the cause and extent of the attack by the concerned law enforcement agencies.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been associated with a range of criminal activities, notably including threats directed at prominent figures within the entertainment sector. Renowned for its aggressive methods, this gang has previously been connected to assaults on various celebrities, such as Salman Khan, who experienced a shooting incident earlier this year. The recent partnership between Dhillon and Salman Khan for a music video is under investigation, as it seems the gang may be retaliating against individuals linked to Salman Khan.
The Implications of AP Dhillon’s Collaboration with Salman Khan
AP Dhillon is a well-known artist in the Punjabi music industry, celebrated for popular tracks like “Brown Munde” and “Excuses.” His ascent to prominence has been significantly facilitated by digital platforms, where he has garnered a substantial fan base. The singer’s increased exposure, particularly through his collaboration with Salman Khan, may have unintentionally placed him on the path of gang-related violence, a concerning development for many artists within the Punjabi music scene.
Canadian law enforcement is currently probing the incident, although they have yet to issue an official statement regarding the shooting or its ramifications. The involvement of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has raised concerns among security agencies, leading to a reassessment of the threats faced by artists in the area. Authorities are also investigating the veracity of social media claims related to the incident and the gang’s participation.
The targeting of AP Dhillon highlights an alarming pattern in which gangsters from Punjab extend their reach and threats beyond Indian borders, particularly in nations like Canada, which hosts a significant Punjabi diaspora. This situation raises critical questions about the safety of artists and the efficacy of law enforcement in countering such threats.
Lawrence Bishnoi is a well-known Indian criminal, born in Ferozpur, Punjab. He is associated with more than twenty criminal cases, which include charges of murder, extortion, and attempted murder, and is presently serving time in Tihar Jail, located in Delhi.
Bishnoi harbors a deep-seated grudge against Bollywood actor Salman Khan, originating from a 1998 event in which Khan was found guilty of illegally hunting blackbucks, an animal revered by the Bishnoi community. In 2018, one of Bishnoi’s associates was apprehended for allegedly plotting to kill Khan as an act of vengeance for this incident. This ongoing rivalry has rendered Salman Khan a target for Bishnoi and his associates, resulting in threats and violent actions directed at the actor.
