About AP Dhillon's firing incident
In early September this year, there was a shooting outside the AP's residence in Vancouver, Canada. Gunshots were heard near his home in the Victoria Island area.
Following the shooting, Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Rohit Godara claimed responsibility, alleging that it was a reaction to Dhillon featuring Bollywood actor Salman Khan in his music video, Old Money.
The Bishnoi gang is currently under investigation for their involvement in the murders of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala and politician Baba Siddiqui. The gang had earlier also issued several threats to Salman Khan.
AP Dhillon is all set to return to India after a gap of three years with his The Brownprint tour. They are scheduled to kick off in December 2024.
