On September 2, 2024, reports emerged about a shooting incident outside the house of the renowned Punjabi singer AP Dhillon in Vancouver, Canada.
According to the reports, shots were fired outside AP Dhillon’s house in Vancouver. A video of the alleged shooting quickly surfaced, depicting a chaotic scene that prompted a swift response from local police. Canada Security agencies are currently investigating the incident to determine the exact reasons and identify any suspects involved.
In a chilling message that followed the shootings, the gang warned Dhillon to “stay within his limits” or face severe consequences, including a “dog’s death.” He became the target of a shooting just a few weeks after the release of his latest track, “Old Money,” featuring Bollywood heavyweights Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt.
A purported post is being circulated where the gangster, Rohit Godara, is claiming that the firing took place at two locations in Canada – Victoria Island and Woodbridge Toronto. According to the post, he fired outside the singer’s house after he featured Salman Khan in a music video. He also gave death threats to the singer in the purported post. The gangster claims he is associated with Lawrence Bishnoi.
A video, which can not be independently verified, shows a man standing outside a house firing multiple shots at night. The video is being circulated on the internet but the location remains unverified.

Security agencies are verifying the claims made in the post and analysing the video. Dhillon is yet to respond to the incident.
AP Dhillon, alias Amritpal Singh Dhillon, is a Canadian-Indian singer and rapper. He gained widespread recognition for his contributions to the Punjabi music industry, especially for blending traditional Punjabi music with contemporary hip-hop and trap elements.
Some of his most popular tracks include “Brown Munde” and “Excuses”.
It is to be noted that in November last year, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility for a shooting at singer Gippy Grewal’s house in Canada. The alleged incident took place in the White Rock neighbourhood in Vancouver.
In April, two motorcycle-borne persons opened fire outside Salman Khan’s residence at the Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai’s Bandra area and fled the spot. The Mumbai police declared jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his younger brother Anmol Bishnoi as “wanted accused” in connection with the incident.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is also linked to the killing of Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala in 2022.
