Firing was reported outside Punjabi singer AP Dhillon's house in Canada's Vancouver on Monday. According to a media report, jailed Lawrence Bishnoi and gangster Rohit Godara have claimed responsibility for the shooting.

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.

AP Dhillon's house is on Victoria Island in Vancouver.

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.

Pointing to Dhillon's alleged connections to actor Salman Khan, the gangsters warned the singer to “stay in his limits or he would meet a dog's death,” the report claimed.

On April 14 this year, two bike-borne assailants had fired five rounds outside Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra. In its chargesheet, the Mumbai Police had named nine people including Lawrence Bishnoi.

Security agencies are verifying the claims made in the post and analysing the video. The singer is yet to respond to the incident. The police in Canada have not responded to the incident.

AP Dhillon is known for blending the 80s-style synth-pop with Punjabi music. His rise on the global canvas has been meteoric owing to songs like 'Brown Munde', 'Excuses', 'Summer High', 'With You', 'Dil Nu', and 'Insane', among others.
