Punjabi singer AP Dhillon has reassured fans of his safety following reports of shots being fired outside his residence in Vancouver, Canada. The incident occurred just hours before the singer took to Instagram to calm the fears of his followers. According to reports from India Today, jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his associate, Rohit Godara, have claimed responsibility for the shooting.
AP Dhillon Speaks Out
On Tuesday, AP Dhillon, who has made Canada his home for several years, addressed the incident through Instagram Stories. “I’m safe. My people are safe. Thank you to everyone who reached out. Your support means everything,” he wrote, concluding his message with a note of peace and love to all.
Shortly after, the singer shared a video on Instagram Reels of himself jamming to his song “Sweet Flower,” accompanied by the caption, “Keep spreading love.” Fans quickly responded, expressing relief and concern. One follower commented, “Glad you’re safe,” while another wrote, “Thank God he is safe, @apdhillon take care of yourself…”
Details of the Incident
AP Dhillon, known for hits like “Brown Munde,” “Excuses,” and “Summer High,” resides on Victoria Island in British Columbia. A video circulating online, which has not been independently verified, allegedly shows a man standing outside a house and firing multiple shots during the night. The specific location of the video remains unconfirmed.
Further details emerged from a widely shared social media post, where gangster Rohit Godara reportedly claimed responsibility for the shootings at two locations in Canada—Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto. The motive behind the attack, according to the post, was AP Dhillon’s recent collaboration with Bollywood actor Salman Khan in the music video for his song “Old Money.” Godara, claiming ties with Lawrence Bishnoi, also issued death threats to Dhillon.
Background on the Lawrence Bishnoi Connection
This incident ties back to earlier reports involving Lawrence Bishnoi, who was named by Salman Khan in a chargesheet filed by Mumbai Police in July. Khan had identified Bishnoi and his brother Anmol as the masterminds behind a shooting outside his home. In his statement to the police, Salman Khan revealed that his family had received multiple death threats in recent years, leading him to believe that Bishnoi and his gang were actively planning to harm him and his family.
The recent attack outside AP Dhillon’s home underscores the ongoing threats linked to these criminal figures, further raising concerns about safety in the entertainment industry.
