Meanwhile, according to a report by Times Now, a social media post has also claimed that the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang carried out the firing. The post reads, "Firing incidents took place at two locations on the night of September 1 - Victoria Island and Woodbridge, Toronto. I, Rohit Godara from the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang, take responsibility for both the firing incidents."

The post further alleged that the house in Victoria Island belongs to AP Dhillon, criticising the singer for collaborating with Bollywood star Salman Khan. The post reads, "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", the report stated.

AP Dhillon's Collaboration With Salman Khan & Bishnoi Gang's Threats To Actor

This incident follows Dhillon's recent collaboration with Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt for the song "Old Money," which was released on August 3. Dhillon, known for his contributions to the Punjabi music industry with hits like "Brown Munde," "Excuses," and "Majhail," has gained significant popularity for blending Punjabi music with hip-hop and trap elements.

The Bishnoi Gang has a notorious history, particularly with Salman Khan. In April, shots were fired at the actor's residence in Bandra, Mumbai, narrowly missing the target. The Mumbai Police's Crime Branch team and forensic experts rushed to the scene, and the Bishnoi Gang later claimed responsibility for the attack. Salman Khan has frequently received death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, raising concerns about his safety.
