Firing outside Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s house in Canada
Bathinda/New Delhi, Sept 2
A shooting incident occurred outside the residence of renowned Indo-Canadian singer and rapper AP Dhillon in Victoria, Vancouver, late last night. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community and the global fan base of the popular artiste.
According to initial reports, gunshots were heard around 11.30 pm local time near the gated entrance of Dhillon’s house. Law enforcement officials were immediately dispatched to the scene following multiple emergency calls by neighbours. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. Dhillon was not present at the house at the time of shooting.
The Vancouver police cordoned off the area and launched an investigation into the incident. Authorities are currently reviewing security footage from the vicinity and interviewing potential witnesses to determine the motive behind shooting. As of now, no suspects have been apprehended and the police have not released any official statements regarding possible leads.
AP Dhillon, whose real name is Amritpal Dhillon, has not yet made a public statement about the incident. His management team, however, has assured fans that the artiste is safe and cooperating with the authorities. The shooting has raised concerns about the security of high-profile individuals in the area, prompting discussions on the need for enhanced safety measures.
Local residents expressed shock and concern following the incident. “This is usually a quiet neighbourhood. It’s alarming to think that something like this could happen here,” said a neighbour.
Meanwhile, the Indian intelligence agencies are trying to find out whether the Vancouver incident has any connection with the firing that took place outside film actor Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai in April this year. The agencies are looking at the possible connection between the two incidents after Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the Vancouver incident.
According to media reports from Canada, a video, which cannot be independently verified, shows a man firing several rounds outside Dhillon’s house. Sources said Salman Khan had appeared in a music video with Dhillon.
