In a shocking incident, shots were reportedly fired outside the house of popular Punjabi singer A.P. Dhillon on Victoria Island in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday evening. The attack has sparked widespread concern, especially after a viral social media post claimed responsibility for the act.

Gangster Rohit Godara Takes Responsibility for the Attack


A post purportedly from gangster Rohit Godara, which has since gone viral, claims responsibility for the shooting. Godara, who is allegedly associated with the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar gang, posted on social media that the attack occurred on September 1st at two locations in Canada-Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto. In his post, Godara asserted that the house on Victoria Island belonged to A.P. Dhillon.

Unverified Video Surfaces Online


A video has surfaced online which shows a man standing outside a house and firing multiple shots. Sources indicate that both the video and the social media post are under investigation by authorities. The authenticity of the claims and the video is yet to be confirmed, but the incident has already sent shockwaves through the Punjabi and Canadian communities.

Motivation Behind the Attack


According to the viral post, the attack was allegedly motivated by A.P. Dhillon's recent collaboration with Bollywood actor Salman Khan in a music video. The post by Godara included a threatening message directed at Dhillon, warning him to "stay in your limits" or face deadly consequences. This threat comes in the context of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's long-standing animosity towards Salman Khan, rooted in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, where Khan was accused of shooting two blackbucks in Rajasthan, an act that outraged the Bishnoi community.

Lawrence Bishnoi Gang's Criminal Activities Continue


The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been at the center of various criminal activities, both in India and abroad. With Bishnoi currently in jail, the gang's operations are reportedly being managed by fugitive gangsters Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara. Godara, whose real name is Rawat Das Swami, has been involved in several high-profile crimes, including the murder of Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi in Rajasthan last December.

The gang has a notorious reputation for targeting celebrities. In April, shots were fired outside Salman Khan's residence in Bandra, Mumbai, by bike-borne assailants. The gang has also been linked to multiple threats against the actor. Similarly, in November of last year, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for firing outside the home of Punjabi singer Gippy Grewal in Vancouver, Canada.

Heightened Security Concerns


This latest incident has heightened security concerns for A.P. Dhillon and other celebrities who may be on the gang's radar. The Canadian authorities, in collaboration with Indian agencies, are likely to intensify their efforts to investigate and address the threats posed by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and its affiliates operating abroad.

The incident underscores the growing influence of organized crime in targeting public figures, and the need for coordinated international efforts to combat such criminal activities. For now, the music industry and fans of A.P. Dhillon are left to grapple with the unsettling reality of this brazen attack, as investigations continue to unfold.
