Gunfire heard outside Punjabi singer AP Dhillon's Vancouver residence: Report

A shooting incident was reported outside Punjabi singer AP Dhillon's Vancouver residence, potentially involving Goldie Brar's gang.

Although an official confirmation is still awaited, reports on news outlets claim that gunfire was heard near the singer's home in Canada. According to Republic.com, a video of the alleged incident has surfaced and is currently under investigation by local security agencies. Authorities suspect that the gang led by Goldie Brar may be behind the attack.

This incident comes amid a larger crackdown on organized crime across multiple regions in India. Delhi Police have identified eleven gangs involved in extortion, threats, and violent crimes in the National Capital Region (NCR) in recent months. At an interstate meeting held at the Delhi Police headquarters, Commissioner Sanjay Arora highlighted the growing menace of these criminal networks. Officers from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan were also in attendance.

In response to the escalating threats and extortion claims, Commissioner Arora directed law enforcement agencies to use stringent measures such as the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) to curb gang activities. The commissioner also urged officers to monitor minors associated with these gangs and to keep a close watch on social media for intelligence on their activities.

The Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldie Brar gang, which has been linked to several high-profile crimes, including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022, is believed to be one of the most dangerous criminal groups currently active. This gang has also issued threats to Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

The reports of firing outside AP Dhillon's house also comes after the singer released his new track "Old Money," featuring Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt. The video, inspired by classic 90s Bollywood action films, showcases the two superstars with Dhillon and his friends on a high-stakes mission. The track marks his first release under his new partnership with Republic Records and Universal Music Canada.
