New Delhi: Republic World has accessed a video showing the alleged shooting outside the Vancouver residence of Punjabi singer AP Dhillon. In the footage, a man dressed in black is seen firing shots at the gate of Dhillon's home. Security agencies are currently examining the video as part of their investigation.  The incident took place on September 1 (Sunday), with Rohit Godara, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, reportedly claiming responsibility. AP Dhillon resides on Victoria Island in British Columbia.

Reports indicate that Bishnoi's motive behind the firing may be linked to AP Dhillon's recent appearance with Bollywood star Salman Khan. A circulating social media message alleged that on the night of September 1, the gang orchestrated shootings at two locations in Canada—Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto. Citing Dhillon's connection to Salman Khan, the gang issued a stark warning for him to “stay within his limits or face a 'dog's death'.”

Security agencies are investigating the claims made in the post and are analyzing the video. The singer has not yet responded to the incident, and the Canadian police have also remained silent on the matter.

Last November, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi took responsibility for an alleged shooting at singer Gippy Grewal's home in Vancouver's White Rock neighborhood. In April, two individuals on motorcycles opened fire outside Salman Khan's residence at Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai's Bandra area before fleeing the scene.  The Mumbai police have since declared Lawrence Bishnoi and his younger brother, Anmol Bishnoi, as "wanted suspects" in connection with the incident.
