What we know so far
AP Dhillon, known for songs such as Brown Munde, Excuses, Summer High, With You, and Dil Nu, among others, lives on Victoria Island in British Columbia. A video, which is being circulated on the internet, but has not been independently verified by Hindustan Times, shows a man standing outside a house firing multiple shots at night. The location remains unverified.
Moreover, as per a widely shared social media post, gangster Rohit Godara is claiming responsibility of the firing that took place at two locations in Canada, Victoria Island and Woodbridge Toronto. He reportedly fired outside the singer’s home 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.
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 outside his house. In his statement, Salman said, “So, I believe that Lawrence Bishnoi, with the help of his gang members, carried out the firing incident when my family members were sleeping and (they were) planning to kill me and my family members.” He told police that he and his family had received several other threats in recent years.
