As per an India Today report, Bunty was present when the assassination attempt happened in a restaurant in Sector 79 of Mohali, Punjab. He did, however, manage to get away unscathed.

Bunty reported the incident to the police, and an investigation is currently underway. The incident was captured on camera, and the clip featured windows with glass cracks and bullet holes in the timber frames.

According to reports, Bunty Bains received the threat from a person going by the name of Lucky Patial. There are rumours that this name is closely associated with the Bambiha and Lawrence Bishnoi gangs.

Bains spoke with India Today post the assasination attempt. He recounted the harrowing experience and shared that following the attack, he also received a threat extortion call asking him for Rs. 1 cr. A failure to comply with the same would result in death.

As per the same report, the threat purportedly came from Lucky Patial, a well-known mob figure thought to be based in Canada. Patial is well-known for his affiliations to the Bambiha and Lawrence Bishnoi gangs, which have been implicated in a number of illegal acts around Punjab.

According to the police, the shooting is still being looked into.

Numerous well-known Punjabi singers, like the late Sidhu Moose Wala, have acknowledged that Bains influenced their careers in some way. Infact, Moose Wala's affairs were handled by Bains' company during his lifetime.
