There is an old saying in the world of crime, the enemy’s enemy is a friend and the enemy’s friend is an enemy. This is true for Punjabi singer AP Dhillon right now. On Sunday night, some shooters fired indiscriminately at Dhillon’s house in Canada. In other words, 14 bullets were fired in 14 seconds. And do you know the reason for this? The reason was Dhillon appearing in a music video with Salman Khan. Actually, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang considers Salman Khan as its enemy and in the eyes of the gang, Dhillon’s friendship with Salman is the biggest mistake.
Firing in Canada, fear in India
It was daytime. A luxurious house. Two expensive cars were parked outside the house. And everything looked good. But in the darkness of night. Bullets are being fired at the same location. The cars are on fire. And the whole area is trembling with the sound of firing. At first glance, these pictures of the shootout look like a video game or a clip from a Hollywood movie, but these pictures are not fiction but completely real. And those real pictures have sent shivers from Canada to India.
The deeds of Lawrence Gang
Actually these pictures are of Punjabi singer Amrit Pal Singh Dhillon aka AP Dhillon’s house in Canada, where the Lawrence Bishnoi gang opened fire on Sunday night. The shooters shot their act with a body worn camera. They made a video of it and released it. And then they also took responsibility for this shootout on social media.
Was AP Dhillon targeted?
But why did singer AP Dhillon become the target of Lawrence Bishnoi gang overnight? Why were bullets fired on foreign land to kill or scare Dhillon? And what is Salman Khan’s connection with this shootout? Today in Waradat we will tell you the whole behind the scene story, but let us first try to understand this video frame by frame.
14 seconds, 14 bullets
In this 14 second video, 14 bullets are seen being fired. That means one bullet every second. Seeing these bullets being fired indiscriminately, it seems that one can understand how reckless these shooters are. They neither care about the law nor anything else. It is a blessing that at the time of the incident, no one was present outside this house or no one made the mistake of looking outside, otherwise anything could have happened.
Lawrence gang took responsibility
But before Canada’s Vancouver police could solve the mystery of this shootout and reach the culprits, India’s notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility for this incident. Lawrence’s henchman Rohit Godara wrote a post on social media.
Rohit Godara wrote the post
In which Rohit said- Ram Ram Ji to all the brothers. On the night of 1 September, firing took place at two places in Canada. One in Victoria Island and the other in Woodbridge, Toronto. I Rohit Godara (Lawrence Bishnoi Group) take responsibility for both the incidents. The house in Victoria belongs to AP Dhillon. This… is taking a big feeling by bringing Salman Khan in the song. I had come to your house or else I would have come out and shown my action. The underworld life which you people copy, we are actually living that life. Stay within your limits or else you will die a… death.
Lawrence gang is angry with shooting song with Salman
Obviously, this post itself is enough to tell that behind this shootout is the grudge of Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which they have nurtured against Salman Khan. Lawrence Bishnoi has been threatening to kill Salman Khan for years. And he has also once got a shootout done outside Salman’s house. But now pop singer AP Dhillon has also come under the target of Bishnoi gang after shooting a song with Salman Khan. Actually, recently AP Dhillon had shot a song named Old Money, in which along with Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt also had an appearance. And after watching this song, these gangsters got angry. By the way, in this song too, Dhillon had portrayed the life of the underworld. And this is the reason that when Godara took responsibility for this shootout, he said that we are living the underworld life which you people copy.
Firing has also taken place at singer Gippy Grewal’s house
However, after this shootout, singer AP Dhillon shared a story on Instagram and said that his life was saved. Dhillon said that he is safe, his people are also safe. He also thanked the people who supported him after this incident. By the way, this shootout is not the only incident of its kind, but before this, another Punjabi singer Gippy Grewal has been fired upon for calling Salman Khan a brother. This firing took place on 25 November 2023 in the White Rock area of Vancouver, Canada, where Grewal’s house is.
Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility
After this, Bishnoi gang took responsibility of this attack through a post and said- Yes, Sat Shri Akaal, Ram Ram Sabnu. Today, Lawrence gang has fired at Gippy Grewal’s bungalow in Vancouver White Rock area. You call Salman Khan a brother, now tell me, your brother should save you. Salman also has a misconception that Dawood will help him. No one can save you from us.
Gangsters’ connection with Punjabi music!
The dangerous cocktail of reel and real life seen in the Punjabi music industry is not seen anywhere else. Most Punjabi songs are seen picturizing gang wars, firing and battle for supremacy and the Punjabi music industry is also on the target of gang wars and gangsters in a similar way. The firing incident at AP Dhillon’s house in Canada on Sunday is just one link in this chain. Earlier, many Punjabi singers have lost their lives after falling prey to gangsters, while many are still living under the shadow of life-threatening threats.
This Punjabi singer was killed
Among them, Amar Singh Chamkila, Avtar Singh Sidhu, Dilshad Akhtar and Sidhu Moosewala were killed. While Parmish Verma survived despite being shot and Gippy Grewal and Mankirat Aulakh are still living under the shadow of threats.
Now the question is why Punjabi singers are the target of gangsters? Broadly speaking there are three reasons for this-
- The first reason is the Punjabi music industry’s Rs 700 crore business, which is being eyed by various criminal gangs.
- Second reason – personal enmity of some singers with different gangsters.
- Third reason – friendship of Punjabi singers with film star Salman Khan.
Punjabi music industry earns 700 crores every year
In fact, the empire of the Punjabi music industry, which is spread from Punjab to different states of India and from Canada to America and Europe, is quite huge. A report of 2018 tells that this industry earns around 700 crore rupees annually. Out of this, 200 crore rupees is directly from Punjabi music videos, while around 500 crore rupees come from live events. A good Punjabi singer does around 75 to 100 music events in a year. And in an industry where there is so much money, it is natural for gangsters to have their eyes on it. So the gangsters of Punjab do not target Punjabi singers only for money, but also remain in the headlines by threatening or attacking them.
The motive of the criminal gang
Similarly, the old rivalry between some Punjabi singers and gangsters also takes this story forward. Actually, Punjabi music has a great influence on the youth of Punjab. And the criminal gangs of Punjab target some singers keeping the students of that place in mind, so that they can make a big name in the world of crime. The rest of the work is done by social media, where there is a trend of posting after every threat and every attack. On top of that, student politics and college friendships and rivalries also take this process forward. Now take the case of Sidhu Moosewala. The Lawrence gang felt that Sidhu got their people killed by joining hands with the rival gang Bambiha, due to which they killed Sidhu Moosewala.
Lawrence’s enmity with Salman
Now the third factor has emerged in the form of Salman Khan. Actually, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has enmity with Salman Khan. And he has threatened Salman several times to apologize publicly for the hunting case or else he will kill him. Meanwhile, these gangsters have now started targeting people who are close to Salman, in which after Gippy Grewal, now AP Dhillon’s name has been included.
