Shots fired outside rapper AP Dhillon's home in Vacouver, Canada
The firing incident outside AP Dhillon's home
Punjab-born, Indian Canadian rapper AP Dhillon is known for songs like Brown Munde, Excuses, Summer High, With You, and Dil Nu, among others.
A video, which is being circulated on the internet, but has not been independently verified by investigative agencies, shows a man standing outside a house firing multiple shots at night. The location too remains unverified.
As per a post on social media, which is being widely shared, gangster Rohit Godara has claimed responsibility for the firing that took place at two different locations in Canada - Victoria Island and Woodbridge Toronto.
The Salman Khan connection
The firing incident seemed to have a Salman Khan link to it. The Bishnoi gang is reportedly irked with the singer after he featured actor Salman Khan in a recent music video for his song Old Money. The gangster claims he is associated with Lawrence Bishnoi, and also issued death threats to AP Dhillon.
Earlier this year in July, Salman Khan had named Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi in the chargesheet filed by Mumbai Police in connection with the shooting incident that took place outside his house in April 2024.
