AP Dhillon and Salman Khan collaboration
According to NDTV, gangster Rohit Godara is allegedly claiming credit for firings that took place on Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto, in a rumoured post that is making the rounds. In the purported post, Rohit stated that after Dhillon worked with Salman on a song video, he fired outside of his home.
The post read, "He was showing off after casting Salman Khan in his song. We came to your house; you should have come out and shown us some action. The underworld life you copy, we are actually living it. Stay in your place, or you'll die like a dog."
Dhillon released a music video featuring Salman Khan just a few days before the firing. In August, the music video for ‘Old Money’, which paid tribute to Indian action films from the 90s, was released.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, Bollywood star Salman Khan experienced a similar incident. Shots were fired outside his Mumbai residence. Lawrence Bishnoi took accountability for the attack. The actor has been kept under strict surveillance ever since. In July, Salman mentioned Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi in the Mumbai Police chargesheet i connection to the gunshot outside his residence.
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."
